Lemon Garlic Parmesan Wings + Sauvignon Blanc Pairing

“The combination of olive oil, garlic and lemon juice lifts the spirits …” - Yotam Ottolenghi

Wings are a staple in my house, and one of the things my husband and I really enjoy making together. This recipe has been a hit lately, and it was created on whim one afternoon.

I was inspired to pair this dish with a Sauvignon Blanc that blew me away at Linden Vineyards - a Virginia winery. The acidity and fresh notes on the wine paired perfectly next to the smoked chicken with lemon and garlic notes.

Please, continue to read more on how this perfect pair came to be.

Lemon Garlic Parmesan Wings

Garlic and lemon paired together are a powerful combination, but sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top, and it is truly next level. These smoked chicken wings are literally a dream, and the flavor complexity alone is a total knockout.

The wings were marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning overnight. Then, the next day they were smoked for about 45 minutes on the grill. Once, they were removed from the grill, lemon pepper and garlic herb seasoning were sprinkled on top of the wings, as well as freshly grated parmesan cheese - pure perfection.

I absolutely love the flavor profile on these wings, the herbs and lemon, paired with a mild cheese is delicious. These wings are definitely a twist on the classic lemon pepper wings that are so extremely popular.

Linden 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

Linden 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

Linden 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc from Linden Vineyards is comprised of the following grapes:

  • 88% Sauvignon Blanc

  • 12% Semillon

This wine is so lovely, and as the winemaker noted during our visit to Linden, it has elements of oyster shell and lemon rind. Upon tasting it you’ll find crisp, mineral, salinity, and citrus notes. It’s light refreshing and clean. On the nose you’ll get a subtle bouquet note as well. This wine is incredibly balanced and the acidity in the wine works beautifully with each sip.

The Sauvignon Blanc is light and fresh. It would pair perfectly with fresh herbs, fish, grilled chicken, salad with goat cheese, oysters, and of course shrimp. I absolutely love how versatile this wine is. You can most certainly drink this by itself or pair it with a dish.

Smoked Elote Chicken Wings + Champagne Cocktail Pairing

“Champagne is always the answer.” - Unknown

Elote street corn has always been a dish I’ve loved, so when Chef Resha from Carnal Dish (find her full recipe here) made Elote Style Chicken Wings, I couldn’t resist trying them at home. myself What is Elote? It is comprised of salt, chili pepper, parmesan cheese, chipotle powder, cumin and dried cilantro.

My chicken wings were seasoned and marinated for about 24 hours, in a variety of herbs and spices like sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic, and cumin. On the day of cooking them, I seasoned them heavily with the Elote seasoning. Trader Joe’s has an amazing blend already packaged that I used on the wings. Then, we smoked them for a few hours, ensuring each wing got an amazing char on them. Once, the wings were finished in the smoker, I garnished each piece with parmesan cheese, jalapeños, and extra Elote seasoning, of course.

The smokiness of the chicken paired with the Elote seasoning, and spiciness of the jalapeños truly made this dish a winner. Today, I am pairing these wings with one of my favorite cocktails, that encompasses Brut Sparkling Champagne, and Tequila.

One of my favorite drinks to create at home is a Sparkling Champagne & Tequila Cocktail. It includes the following ingredients:

  • Casamigos Reposado (or Blanco if you prefer)

  • Brut Sparkling Champagne

  • Freshly squeezed lime juice

  • Splash of Simply Limeade

Casamigos Reposado has notes of:

  • Dried fruits

  • Spicy oak

  • With a touch of Agave

The champagne used in this cocktail has notes of:

  • Citrus

  • Green apple

  • Subtle hints of brioche

Both spirits paired so lovely with one another, and adding the fresh squeezed lime juice and limeade really bring this cocktail together.

This cocktail is perfect for grilled and smoked spicy meats during your summer backyard BBQ. The spiciness and smokiness of these compliment the citrus elements in this champagne and tequila drink perfectly.

Cooking With Chrissy Teigen

“Making food is a wonderful way to spend a Friday night.” - Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook Cravings 2 is one of my fave books to cook with to date. She is witty and all of the recipes are super to easy follow, also the food is delicious. Today I am sharing my top three favorite recipes from her new book. Even though she wasn’t literally in my kitchen, her recipes and suggestions have totally influenced my cooking style.

Check out my top three dishes below!

Thai Grilled Chilli Wings

These wings are sweet and spicy, so so good! The trick for these wings is to marinate them for 24 hours to get their amazing flavor. Also, I preferred to add in extra peppers into these wings.

Garlic & Honey Shrimp

These shrimp are spicy, sweet, and the garlic totally makes is scrumptious. Also, I used basmati rice as the grain for the dish, and it turned out delicious. The sauce is key for the dish, I added in extra ginger too!

Scallop Linguine

I absolutely love this dish, and I rarely make pasta at all, but this dish was a star. The casino breadcrumb recipe was amazing and really elevated this meal.
