Grilled Chicken in Wine

Grilled Chicken in Wine

A classic German chicken with spatzle

Germany’s Rhine Valley is a major contributor to Europe’s quality wine selection. As with any wine region of the world, culinary influences of these wines are often present in many of the local dishes. This chicken in wine (Huhn in Wein) is a great example of that.

The dish offers well balanced flavors, yet at Barbequed Chicken we felt the grill would offer an additional layer of flavor. We were right. Give this traditional German recipe a try with a little grill action put to it.
