What kind of wine can I use instead of cooking sherry in my chicken recipe?
Your chicken will taste better if you do not use cooking sherry. Cooking sherry adds very little flavor to the food except for salt. I would recommend using Riesling or Gewurtraminer such as these: Columbia Winery 2006 Gewurztraminer Pale straw yellow color. Hints of allspice and pink grapefruit accent the sweet fruit palate. Crisp finish with a good balance of acidity. Versatile with food, especially with spicy (around $10) Leasingham 2004 Magnus Riesling – Pale yellow in colour with green hues and brilliant clarity, the Leasingham Magnus Riesling has intense floral aromas of jasmine and citrus blossom with fresh pineapple and spice. The palate has refreshing lemon and lime characters with fleshy fruit sweetness and mouthwatering acidity. The finish is fresh and lively with good persistence.
