Spread coated wings in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine
Chicken Wings works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. 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 Hindsight Wines Chardonnay. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.

Hindsight Wines Chardonnay
Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards in Carneros and Oak Knoll. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged three months on the lees in neutral French oak, the wine shows great acidity, weight and mouth-feel. This 100% Chardonnay shows acidity normally reserved for stainless only wines. This is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
