Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large airtight dish, place the chicken and pour the milk and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper generously, close the dish and mix. Reserve in the fridge for 3 hours.
In a large bowl, add the ingredients for the breading and toss. Season with salt and pepper generously.
Remove the chicken from the milk and immediately coat with the breading mixture. Press well to make it stick as much as possible!
Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with a thin stream of olive oil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked and breadcrumbs are golden brown. Flip halfway.
Meanwhile, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan, (with the exception of the starch mixture) add all the ingredients, season with salt and pepper and mix.
Bring to a boil, add the cornstarch mixture and mix. Continue cooking for 15 to 30 seconds until the sauce thickens. Remove the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Willm Riesling Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr 2022

Alsace, France

The Willm Riesling Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr is a white from Alsace made with Riesling, with the freshness this grape often gives, plus a hint of apple and citrus. That works nicely here: the sweet and sour sauce is built on apple juice and rice vinegar, so the wine speaks the same language. Keep it very cold, which helps with sticky fingers! See the product

SAISON DES DUNES, ST-PANCRACE, 6.3%

The breading and the sweet and sour sauce are crunch drowned in sweet. This saison with dune pepper brings lemon, black pepper and spruce that revive the spices in the breading. Its dry finish breaks the fat of the frying and its fizz gets you ready for the next drumstick. See the product
