  1. Prepare the chicken up to the end of step 1, cover and chill up to a day ahead.

  2. Chicken supremes are chicken breasts with the fillet and upper wing bone still attached. They’re available from good butchers. If you can’t find them, use large skin-on chicken breasts instead

  3. Of course a whisky or two is traditional on Burns Night, but I’d leave that until after the chicken balmoral. With it, choose a red burgundy, soft and smooth with plenty of strawberry fruit and a nutty hint.
