Curated Pairing by C9P Chef
Roasted Spring Chicken with Herbs & Lemon
Pairing Rationale:
Roasted spring chicken, with its crisp skin and tender meat, harmonizes beautifully with the wine's rounded body and vibrant fruit profile.
The aromatic herbs and zesty lemon mirror the wine's own herbal and citrus notes, creating a cohesive tasting experience.
Gentle roasting adds a subtle smoky dimension that enhances—rather than overwhelms—the wine's mineral depth and complexity.
Simple Steps:
Prep the chicken: Clean and pat dry thoroughly.
Marinate: Rub inside and out with olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and fresh herbs; place lemon wedges inside. Rest for 30 minutes.
Roast: Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for 40-50 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Rest & Serve: Let rest briefly, then carve and serve with roasted vegetables or extra lemon.
