Tasting Notes: This is a fun, easy take on fried chicken which is great because fried chicken pairs beautifully with sparkling. The salty, crunch of fried chicken plays perfectly with the dryness and effervescence of sparkling.

Serena's Tips: You can substitute with boneless chicken. We use Panko bread crumbs for more crunch. Cooking times for us were longer in order to get the skin crispy.
