- Yum, I used white wine 'cause that's what I had.
- It was ok, but not great. Yes, I did end up with purple chicken, but the kids thought that was cool. It seemed to be missing... something, but I don't know what. My chicken did end up a little dry. I used boneless, skinless breasts. Maybe it works a little better with skin on chicken.
- I made this a while ago and froze it. I thawed it out overnight and cooked it on low all day in my crockpot. I used red wine but my chicken wasn't purple after it cooked all day long. My husband threw in some carrots and a few whole mushrooms to the crock pot. The shrooms soaked up the flavor from the broth and was sooooo yummy. We served it over rice and there were no leftovers.
- This is a difficult one to rate. The taste was fine, but my seven year old took one look at it, said, "It's PURPLE!" and refused to eat it. If I made it again I would not use red wine as the color apparently is not acceptable to my child. Other than that, it was not bad.
- This chicken has a mild but pleasant taste. I've made it with whatever wine I have open, and it tastes fine with white wine or champagne. So easy to throw together, as welll!
Tweaks
- This turned out very well. I made it with white wine instead of red and grilled the chicken. It marinated a full day in the fridge after thawing so it had a good long chance to pick up the flavor. I also tucked a sprig of rosemary along the fold between the breast (used boneless/skinless) and tenderloin.
