Five garlic chicken kievs sold side by side, judged on the one number the box buries: how much of the kiev is actually chicken, not coating and garlic butter. The spread runs 42% to 67%, and the big-brand pack fronting a 'made from 100% chicken breast' flash actually carries the least chicken at 42%. Strip out the coating and Sainsbury's own breaded kievs give the most real chicken for your money, not the dearest premium pack.

Ranked by cost per 100g of actual chicken — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.

The receipts

  1. Jun 2026Recipe
    42% chicken
    Chicken Breast (42%) on the box. The pack is marketed as made from 100% chicken breast, which the brand's own on-page Q&A clarifies means only the meat used is breast, not that the kiev is all chicken; the other 58% is coating and garlic butter. The real QUID is 42%, the least chicken of the five. GBP3.00 for 204g (GBP14.71/kg), frozen.
