Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Fried Chicken. In general, there are a few rules that will help you pair wine with southern food. Food-friendly riesling or sparkling white wine will work with many fried foods, while zinfandel is great with barbecued fare. The S.A. Prum Essence Riesling with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

S.A. Prum Essence Riesling

Pale gold in color. Aromatic, with scents of apricot and peach. Dry with fresh fruit flavors perfectly balanced by a racy acidity and mineral character.Enjoy on its own or with a range of lightappetizers and seafood dishes.
