Fried Chicken Sandwich

A crispy fried chicken thigh nestled in a soft bun, accompanied by crisp lettuce and creamy mayonnaise. The chicken is marinated in buttermilk, then coated in a seasoned flour mixture with paprika and garlic before being fried to golden perfection in canola oil. The result is a juicy, flavorful sandwich with a satisfying crunch in every bite.

The crispy, fried chicken thighs in this sandwich pair well with a refreshing white wine like Cortese, known for its crisp acidity and citrus notes that cut through the richness of the dish. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruity red like Sangiovese complements the savory flavors of the paprika and garlic. A sparkling wine is another excellent choice, as its effervescence cleanses the palate between bites.
