Which wine would you drink with chicken kiev and southern fried chicken?

I have a bottle of Californian Chardonnay (Dark Horse) and one of South African Chenin Blanc (First Cape). I think the garlic in the chicken dishes might clash with the oaky Chardonnay or overpower the Chenin.

Talk about first world problem...

Just finished reading Dave Grohl's autobiography and apparently the Foo Fighters love drinking champagne accompanied by KFC. Haven't tried this taste sensation myself yet...

Cor this sounds great actually.

Ooh love a chicken Kiev! Used to work in the wine trade, went to tastings a lot etc and I would definitely go with the viognier sauvignon out of those 3. Although I don't like Chardonnay or Chenin blanc so maybe I'm biased 🤣

As a Kiwi I'm constitutionally obliged to assert that Sauvignon Blanc is the only decent white wine, even if it's a French one, so choose that one.

Yep! And the NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in particular, is the best wine in the world!

I think the dryness/bubbles would work very well against the crunchy, fatty elements!

Post-meal report. All good. The wine especially, and still half a bottle left.
