We're Talking Chicken!

Chicken is one of the most versatile foods to pair with drinks because it takes on the flavours of whatever it's cooked with. A simple roast, a creamy pie, spicy wings or a fragrant curry all call for something different, so there's no single "right" bottle to open.

Crisp whites and refreshing lagers are brilliant with lighter dishes, while richer roast chicken can handle fuller-bodied wines or maltier beers. Spicy marinades often work best with juicy, fruit-forward beers or aromatic wines, and smoky grilled chicken is right at home alongside pale ales, amber lagers or easy-drinking reds.
