Champagne Chicken #SundaySupper

Champagne Chicken
Light the candles, grab the champagne, pop the cork; its time to make chicken! No that’s not a misprint. Today Sunday Supper features Libational Recipes. Champagne Chicken tastes perfect for a celebration. Champagne infused sauce gives chicken a bit of tang balanced with a drizzle of honey.

My first experience with champagne was Asti Spumante. I wasn’t sure if I liked the taste or not. I conceded it was what you drank to ring in the New Year. Over the years I tried different types of sparkling wines. I’m open now to any suggestions!

I admit that those first few bottles of bubbly were scary to open. More hit the floor than our glasses!

Working in catering taught me that you hold the cork and twist the bottle. Who knew, did you? 😉 Don’t forget to serve a glass of bubbly on the side!

Thank you Alice of A Mama, Baby & Shar-pei in the Kitchen and DB (aka Foodie Stuntman) of Crazy Foodie Stunts for hosting this event!

Fun Fact: Champagne is named for the region in France where the grapes are grown. Wine made from grapes grown anywhere else is known as Sparkling Wine.
