Tasting notes: This is one of our go to chicken dishes because it's super tasty, easy and delicious with both Pinot and Rosé of Pinot.
Serena's tips: You can do individual bone in chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, just cut everything in half. Great with Rosé (on a warm day) or Pinot. (on a cooler day)
