Chicken Leg Quarter Delivery or Pickup

One of the best aspects of cooking a chicken leg quarter is the marvelously wide range of wines you can pair it with. For example, if you are following a simple recipe and will only be roasting the leg in its own juices, a white wine like a sauvignon blanc will serve as a wonderful complement to the dish. A good quality chardonnay would also make for a blissful paring, especially if you season your chicken with tarragon.

You can also elevate a simple dish by serving a delicious Pinot Noir or Red Burgundy. These wines will give your meal a polished effect, and your guests will leave impressed as well as highly satisfied. If you plan on applying spicier seasonings to your chicken leg quarter, pour yourself a glass of a rich Viognier.

On the other hand, if you plan to serve a more extravagant dish and have your chicken roasted with gravy, complete with vegetables, it may be best to uncork a fine Côtes-du Rhône for your dinner guests.  

Now, if you don't want the stress of sticking to a strict timetable for your dinner party, you can make your life easier by having a bottle of Beaujolais-Villages on hand. That way, if the chicken is room temperature and accompanied by a simple salad, you can still impress your guests with a delightful meal. This wine also fits well if you want your chicken to be a bit zestier and season it with lemon.
