Pairing with the Perfect Wine
No fine dining experience is complete without the perfect wine pairing. When it comes to Crown Peach Whisky Chicken, a crisp white wine pairs perfectly.
We recommend a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, as their citrusy notes complement the tangy flavors of the dish.
For a more complex pairing, try a Chardonnay with its notes of vanilla and oak.

Can I substitute Crown Peach Whisky with a different type of whisky?

Can I grill the Crown Peach Whisky Chicken instead of baking it?
