Tips & Secrets
- Using chicken mince with a small amount of fat is the absolute secret to achieving a professional-grade juicy interior.
- Ensure the chicken filling is completely dry; any gravy will cause the pastry to become soggy and heavy.
- High oven temperature is mandatory to create the steam required for the puff pastry layers to rise correctly.
- Allowing the pastry to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking helps in achieving a more professional uniform rise.
