Cooking doesn't have to be difficult or complicated, and it doesn't need to use lots of ingredients to be perfect. The better cook you are, the quicker you learn that. Here's one recipe that proves it.

Cooks' Note

DRESS IT DOWN:

Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

Toss 2 pounds chicken wings and/or drumettes in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon each black and white pepper. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 450°F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with your favorite dip.

PAIR IT: Barons Edmondet Benjamin de Rothschild Haut-Medoc

A licorice flavor is sometimes detected in French Bordeaux. The anise in this recipe makes this one a great choice.
