SCOTTISH HIGHLAND CHICKEN WITH WHISKY AND CREAM
The Scottish tradition of cooking chicken in an enclosed pot is known as stoved or stovies, a word that derives from the French etouffee that describes cooking in a covered or closed vessel When you make this recipe cut the chicken up the back, remove the backbone (keep it for stocks) and spread the two halves out, flattening the bird. This helps to cook the chicken quickly and more evenly. If you don't have a roasting pan with a lid, enclose the pan with foil. Serve this comforting dish with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub all over with salt, pepper and half the olive oil.
- Combine the remaining oil and butter in a lidded roasting pan and place over medium heat.
- When butter is foaming, place the chicken, breast side down, in the pan and brown for about 4-5 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side for the same length of time. Drain off most of the fat.
- Return the pan with the chicken to the heat and, working quickly, pour the whiskey over it and then set alight. Let the flame die down and then add the broth.
- Cover the chicken with the roasting pan lid (or tuck foil all the way around) and transfer to the oven to bake for about 45-50 minutes.
- When the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board to rest.
- Drain off some of the accumulated fat and then set the pan on a medium high heat.
- Add a spoonful of water to loosen bits clinging to the bottom of the pan, and then add the cream, stirring as you do so.
- Bring to a boil and let cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the parsley to the sauce and keep warm.
- Section the chicken and serve the sauce at table with the chicken. Serves 4-6.

There is great fun to be had during the evenings, fueled by malt and music and the company of fellow whisky lovers from around Scotland and the world.

- NOTE: The Famous Grouse blended whisky, which, by the way, includes these three whiskies in the blend: Glenrothes (for fragrance), Highland Park (for a light smokiness) and Macallan (for unmistakable richness and backbone).

CHICKEN STOVIES - TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH RECIPE
The word 'stovies' is from the French 'etoufee', meaning 'stewed in a closed vessel'. This popular Highland dish, possibly of French origin, has become a favourite all over Scotland. Like most national affairs, the exact way to cook stovies is a matter of dispute for many Scots; this traditional recipe preserves all the essence of the bird.

HIGHLAND CHICKEN
This is our favorite chicken dish! There is something about the cream sherry marinade that makes this chicken absolutely fabulous. The chicken develops a very complex flavor and the sauce is wonderfully tasty. The sauce is lovely made with either the cream or the low fat milk/water option. Since we don't usually have heavy cream onhand, the lowfat option was born and I am very happy with the result. Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do.

- Cook the haggis as directed on the packaging. You’ll find that most haggis comes in a log form. It can be baked in the oven in its casing, or opened and sliced to cook in the microwave. We find it easiest to buy a small haggis and then open it and cook how much we needed in the microwave, leaving the rest for another meal or freezing it. Set it aside to cool.
- Take the chicken breasts and make a slit in the side at the largest point to form a pocket. About 1-1.5cm should remain unsliced on the opposite side.
- Take the cooked haggis and stuff into each chicken breast. You don’t want them to be too full, as the chicken should basically seal back around the haggis to form a circle of chicken with the haggis at the centre.
