Buttermilk Chicken with Crispy Cornflakes
Pairing Note Sam Calagione liked how a hoppy, citrusy India pale ale counterbalanced the sweetness of the chicken, which had been marinated overnight, then grilled, brushed with butter and rolled in crispy cornflakes. Here, he chose Alpine Beer Company's Pure Hoppiness from California. Marnie Old preferred the silky fruit of Pinot Noir with the buttery meat, specifically a not-too-oaky 2006 Mary Elke Pinot Noir.
