When it comes to inspired pairings, you can’t get much better than whiskey and rotisserie chicken – that lovely succulent meat washed down by the strong, warming whiskey is the perfect antidote to the bustling city. That is exactly the thinking behind the new eatery ‘Bull in a China Shop’ (opening up in Shoreditch in early April). The head chef Simon Chan brines the chicken for 4 hours, then marinates it in Asian spices and yoghurt for 24 hours before glazing it in whiskey (my mouth is already watering). Bull in a China Shop will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as offering cocktails and whiskeys for those that want to sample the assortment of Japanese varieties available.
