The dish of chicken with figs in red wine is a recipe that combines sweet and savory flavors with an aromatic touch from spices and fresh herbs. Its origin lies in Mediterranean cuisine, especially in regions where the use of red wine and dried fruits or fresh fruits, such as figs, is traditional to accompany meats. In different Latin American countries, this preparation may have various names, although it is generally recognized as "chicken in wine sauce with figs" or simply "chicken with figs." In Mexico, for example, variations may include local spices and different types of dried fruits, while in countries like Argentina or Chile, the combination of wine with fruits in meat dishes is quite common, although each gives it its own touch. The use of Mavrothaphne red wine, originally from Greece, provides a deep and fruity flavor that distinguishes this recipe, making this dish an authentic gastronomic experience that unites cultures and culinary traditions.
