"I recently baked chicken thighs. It's a kind of Moroccan dish, because of the spicing. You use fresh ginger, ground coriander, cumin. You brown the chicken and make this layer of onions and vegetables. Then you just have to cook it for 10 minutes in a very hot oven. It all crisps up. I serve that with couscous, salad and a nice glass of Canadian gewurztraminer from Niagara or B.C. I like the slightly fruity quality of the white with those kinds of spices in it."
