Turned Wine Fried Chicken

"Turned wine isn't trash: it's natural vinegar," says Gamoran. "Soaking chicken in it helps the meat get super tender and gives it the tart-honey-musky flavor of wine grapes. In this simple recipe, the wine really comes through in every bite."

Overripe Avocado Goddess Dressing

"The ultra-soft texture of overripe avocados is perfect for adding rich creaminess to this easy dressing."
