Good thread for tying meat
I want to prepare kotlet de volaille. It'a a bit like Cordon Bleu, but using the natural pocket in chicken breast, and inside is just butter and fresh herbs.

I thought about tying the meat with a thread, like a roulade, but I've never done this before, so I don't know what kind of thread to use. Is there a special kind of thread of will my polyester sewing thread be enough?

It took me some time, but I found the name of the dish in English - Chicken Kiev.

Don't use polyester, use kitchen twine instead.

For something more delicate than kitchen twine, any thread from a 100% natural fibre (cotton, hemp) should work. Synthetics (polyester, rayon, nylon) could melt or offgas into your food when subject to high temperature.

Unflavored dental floss (the traditional kind, not the glide version) can be used and is finer than the kitchen twine.

Toothpicks can also be used to close the pocket and may actually be a little easier to remove than thread.

Best of luck with your dish!
