And to Drink …

What kind of wine goes best with chicken? Just about any. Chicken pairs with most everything, from a moderately tannic Bordeaux to a light Vinho Verde. The accompanying flavors are usually more fussy. The good news here is that the savory notes of this dish will likewise embrace many wines. Choose a rustic Gigondas or a peppery syrah if you’re in the mood for a red.  An Oregon pinot noir or a Portuguese Bairrada would do nicely as well. Prefer a white? Why not a chardonnay? You know you like it. From where? Anywhere. Chenin blanc would be delicious. So would an Austrian riesling, or a godello from northwestern Spain. Leave it to the sommeliers to decide which particular curvée echoes the sprig of parsley. Pick what you enjoy. ERIC ASIMOV
