Grilled Wine Chicken

PARTNER POST: Dive into the 120 days of summer with Santa Rita wines that pair perfectly with the foods of the season, straight off the grill.
This quick, grilled chicken does all the work for you. Simply marinate the poultry in wine and grill, then you’re set for a tasty summer meal.

Wine Grilled Chicken

Summer is a great time to spend with our family and kids that are home from school, so I have created a quick and delicious recipe that allows you to be outside and together more and spend less time in the kitchen.

Now I know most recipes out there use either just white wine or red wine as a marinade. And, I tested each one out as a marinade on different nights. Then one night I figured I’d just throw both wines together and see how the chicken turned out – and gosh-darn-it, the result was so tasty, so tender and so juicy, yet so simple, and so easy!

Santa Rita’s 120 Sauvignon Blanc with its grapefruit, lime, lemon peel, and white peach undertones balanced off the intense vanilla, red and black fruit undertones of Santa Rita’s 120 Red Blend so well. I must warn you, even though they exuded so much flavor to the chicken – along with onions, garlic, and Badia’s Original Spice blend, the two wines colored the chicken a rather scary purplish color. But, when grilled, that color thankfully wore off!

My daughter and I enjoyed this chicken with broccoli and over quinoa.
