  1. Pat the room-temperature chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

  3. Flip the chicken, lower the heat to low and baste it.
  4. Remove the chicken once fully cooked and set it aside.
  5. Add the shallots to the pan and let them cook down slowly until caramelised.
  6. Add the zucchini and mushrooms and stir slowly to combine the flavours.
  7. Add the minced garlic and cook until softened.
  8. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
  9. Add a splash of whisky, turn the heat to high and carefully ignite it from a safe distance.
  10. Add 1/3 cup of white wine to deglaze the pan.
  11. Once deglazed, stir in 1/3 cup of heavy cream until evenly combined.
  12. Arrange the vegetables on a plate as a base, cut the chicken thigh at an angle and place it on top, then spoon the sauce over the chicken.
