Thanks for watching! Chicken pies in the UK are a lot different from pork pies as pork pies are usually room temp! Compared to HK chicken pies, UK version tends to have a significantly thinner crust that isn’t as sweet- so the flavour profile is generally more focused on the chicken than the pastry.
