Chicken in wine marinade with red pepper flakes is the embodiment of Italian gastronomy, where simple ingredients turn into something delightful. Dry white wine adds depth to the meat's aroma, while red pepper flakes provide a spicy kick. Oregano and garlic enrich the flavor with earthy and spicy notes, creating a perfect balance. Thanks to the marinade, the meat becomes juicy and tender, while grilling gives it an appetizing golden crust. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled young potatoes and fresh herbs. It is perfect for summer evenings outdoors, where each bite transports you to sunny Italian coastlines. The aromatic, rich, and slightly spicy taste makes this dish indispensable on the table of Mediterranean cuisine lovers.
