Chicken Nuggets can be paired with White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. White meat is typically paired with white wine as to not overpower the flavor of the meat, so chardonnay and sauvignon blanc are safe choices. Chicken prepared with a tomato sauce or certainly a red wine sauce can and should be served with a red like a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Moet & Chandon White Star (). It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.

Moet & Chandon White Star ()

White Star is a softer champagne. It is well balanced and harmonious, with subtle aromas of warm toast and gingerbread. The finish is sustained with a hint of honey.
