Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Wine, Zinfandel

Fried Chicken works really well with Riesling, Sparkling Wine, and Zinfandel. 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. You could try Thousand Islands Winery Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 13 dollars per bottle.

Thousand Islands Winery Riesling

This cool climate, sweet style Riesling displays a fruity aroma with flavors of apricot and peach, followed by a touch of citrus. It has a well balanced mouth feel and sweet finish.
