How to Peel Garlic

What Cut of Chicken Should I Use?
We use chicken drumsticks for this recipe, but feel free to use bone-in chicken thighs, which cook in about the same amount of time. To minimize the fat, be sure to remove the skin and trim the thighs thoroughly.
What Type of White Wine Should I Use?
You can use any type of white wine you have on hand, but a dry white wine is ideal since it has little to no residual sugar. Some examples of dry white wines are sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and pinot grigio. If you prefer not to cook with wine, you can use reduced-sodium chicken broth.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
