Pollo al ajillo

Here is another popular al ajillo preparation. I use chicken thighs for this dish because they remain juicier and are more flavorful than breasts, but chicken wings also work well. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of hot paprika or cayenne pepper with the sherry.

Wine

Spanish: rosé (Campo de Borja, Navarre), Tempranillo/blend (Rioja, Catalonia)
Non-Spanish: rosé (Rhône Valley and Provence, France), Pinot Noir (Oregon, France, New Zealand)
