'I tried the Harrods chicken Kyiv and was shocked by one thing'

A staple meal for many Brits, chicken Kyivs are available in most shops and can be easily homemade. With their garlic butter centre and breaded outside, they're often paired with potatoes or salad.

Kate Keogh bought a chicken Kyiv from luxury department store Harrods for her 80-year-old dad, and she shared whether he thought it was worth the "splurge". Kate said that the chicken Kyiv was "very posh" when she went to pick it up from Harrods in London. When Kate went into the Harrods food hall, she said she was "instantly distracted" by all the items that looked "amazing". She noted that there was "actually a really good selection of takeaway lunch options" if you're feeling fancy that day. "And I thought £8 for a truffle egg brioche was quite reasonable," Kate shared.

But she was horrified when she realised that the chocolate-covered strawberries cost a whopping £4 per strawberry. Kate admitted she was "getting distracted" again by everything on offer. She secured the chicken Kiev, which cost a whopping £15.93.

But then she got a "bit carried away" and ended up also getting a caviar bag of crisps, the viral rotisserie wrap, the honey cake, and a chocolate bar.

These items totalled almost £50, but she admitted it was one of her "more indulgent food shops". She joked that it's "not every day" that you get to shop at Harrods.

When she got home and showed it to her dad, Joe, he said that it smelt good and was "very very big," but you'd "want it to be for that price".

Kate then heated it up for her dad, sharing that it didn't smell as garlicky as she expected it to and like the normal "shop bought" ones she gets would.

So, what was Joe's verdict? First off, he said, "If nothing else, it's big," so it seems as though you won't be going hungry if you get one. He continued: "It's certainly nice and moist," but he noted that it wasn't "runny". He said that his opinion was it's "good," but "not worth it".

Kate showed the camera that the filling is "solid" rather than a "garlic butter" and her dad preferred it when you cut into it for the juices to run all over the plate.

Kate said the chicken was moist and had a lovely flavour, but it wasn't "really a garlic butter," and they likened it more to "mushy peas." They concluded that it was "tasty," but perhaps not worth the huge price tag.
