Which wine to serve with chicken?

Which wine you serve with chicken very much depends on the type of chicken dish you are serving.. it is not a case of 'one wine fits all'. Having said that, chicken has a natural wine partner in the form of Chardonnay. Traditionalists may point you towards serving chicken with wine from the famous Burgundy region. New World wine fans might steer towards Australian Chardonnay as a good food match with chicken too.

Below, we've taken the most poular chicken dishes and given you the Hound's recommendations from our vast selection. Once you've tried some - come back and review our chicken and wine choices to help our other customers!
