I was born in the Year of the Rooster, so I’m thrilled to be 24 again (!) this year—wonder if the omen is good if I eat chicken in the Year of the Rooster? Either way, the older I grow, the more I miss the food from home, especially the big-plate Xinjiang stir-fried chicken. To pair with this dish—which I have to cook for each Spring Festival—I’d choose an old-vintage Côte-Rôtie from Domaine Jamet. This is a classic Syrah from a cool region, with complexity added by aging. It presents a completely different style from the rich and juicy New World Shiraz. A perfect match to my favourite chicken dish. Gosh I’m salivating just thinking about it...
