Chicken Balmoral with Whisky Sauce, Chicken Balmoral with Whisky Sauce
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Last year, we had my mum and stepdad for Burns supper and instead of the traditional haggis, neeps, and tatties for our main course, I did it slightly differently.   We enjoyed haggis, carrot and swede mash and tatties for our main course, along with a whisky sauce.   I wouldn’t normally make a whisky sauce but decided I’d give it a try as we were having guests.   Both David and my stepdad are whisky lovers…my mum and I definitely aren’t, but we were willing to give it a try – we weren’t disappointed!  

Some of the haggis and whisky sauce was leftover and as we had chicken breasts and bacon in the fridge, I decided to make chicken balmoral.   It was a Simon Howie haggis that I’d bought from the supermarket, so I checked to see if there were recipes on his website…and there was.   Chicken balmoral can be served with either a peppercorn sauce or whisky sauce.   This was a great way to use up these leftovers and have another delicious meal to enjoy.

Tip

  • If you’ve still got haggis left after enjoying your Burns supper and having chicken balmoral, how about making some haggis balls …these are good!!

FAQ's about Haggis

What is haggis?

Haggis is a savoury pudding traditionally made from sheep's offal (heart, liver and lungs), minced with oatmeal, onions, suet, seasonings and spices and boiled while encased in the sheep's stomach. However, artificial casing is now often used instead.

What animal is used to make haggis?

Normally sheep offal is used to make haggis, however, there are many variations using pork, lamb and beef offal. You can now buy gluten free, vegetarian and vegan haggis.

Why is haggis eaten on Burns Night?

In 1801, five years after the death of Robert Burns, some of his friends got together to celebrate his life on his birthday and decided that the meal should be haggis, in honour of one of his most famous poems "Address to a Haggis".

Is haggis illegal in the US?

Since 1971, Scottish haggis cannot be exported to the US due to a ban on food containing animal lungs. You can buy haggis in the US but it will have been made in the US and will not contain animal lungs.

Is haggis a real animal

In Scotland tourists are told that a haggis is a real animal...that it has two short legs on one side and two longer legs on the other to make it easier to run around the hills!!
