## Ingredients

- 3 cloves garlic
- Oil for frying
- 110 g butter
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 500 g chicken mince
- 150 g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 handful plain flour
- 1 egg
- salt
- pepper

## Instructions

1. Place the garlic in a microwave-proof bowl with oil.
2. Microwave for 45 seconds before draining off the oil.
3. Add the garlic to a small bowl with the butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Put the butter mixture in the freezer to firm up for a few minutes.
5. Place the chicken mince and 50g of the breadcrumbs in a bowl.
6. Season with salt and pepper and use your hands to combine until no breadcrumbs are visible.
7. Divide the mince into 4 balls.
8. Press out one of the balls and place a heaped teaspoon of garlic butter in the center.
9. Mould the chicken mince around the butter so it's encased and gently press it into a thick burger shape. Repeat with the other balls.
10. Place the flour, beaten egg, and remaining breadcrumbs on 3 separate plates/bowls.
11. Roll the bakes in flour until coated, dip in the egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs.
12. Heat oil in a large, non-stick pan so it covers half of the chicken bakes.
13. Fry on a medium to low heat for around 10 minutes or until cooked through.
14. Melt the remaining garlic butter in the microwave.
15. Drizzle the melted garlic butter over the bakes.
