Because it's a bit of a blank canvas when it comes to flavor, chicken can be paired with any number of wines. Which ones work best really depend upon how the chicken is being prepared. Grilled with barbecue sauce? Rotisserie-style? Stir-fried with hoisin sauce? Which it comes to the most popular poultry, preparation is everything. But then there are other kinds of poultry, too, from Thanksgiving turkey to the more succulent quail to the rarely-eaten pheasant. And each of these demands a different kind of wine to bring out its best. Which is exactly why we've provided pairing ideas for the major categories of poultry and poultry preparations—because without a primer on it, there are just too many chances to make a bad pairing.
