Grilled Wine Chicken

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.

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!

A Sauvignon Blanc with its grapefruit, lime, lemon peel, and white peach undertones balanced off the intense vanilla, red and black fruit undertones of a 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.
