What is a good white wine for cooking chicken francese?

Wondering what type of wine you should select for this easy chicken franchese recipe? The taste will truly determine the way your franchese sauce recipe turns out. Crisp White Wine – like Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay – are your best bets considering most people seem to have these on hand.

How much is the juice of one lemon?

I hate when a recipe says one lemon. Like what does that even mean! Personally, I just squeeze until it hurts. But if you want to get a more specific description, one lemon should have about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in it.

Should I use white cooking wine? Or white wine that I am drinking?

Hey, girl. Use the wine that you are drinking. That is the big secret when it comes to cooking. Whenever you are in the kitchen, it’s best to just use what you drink. If it’s good enough for you to drink… it is MOST CERTAINLY good enough for you to cook with.
