Recipe: Sweet Glazed Chicken Thighs
September 2004: page 200
Scott's Wine Suggestion:
Tropical pineapple juice with a touch of brown sugar and soy sauce are the key flavor components in this mouth-watering recipe. What's more, the meaty chicken thighs add an level of flavor that you just don't get with breast meat. I like the combination of Chardonnay and Sémillon--an especially popular blend in Australia--to go hand-in-hand with this recipe. This tasty pairing delivers body, acidity, and good crisp fruit.
