Guy Fieri is the king of unexpected ingredients when it comes to classic dishes. While white wine in a Cajun Alfredo sauce may surprise you, Fieri explains that it's key to the dish because it deglazes the pan (via YouTube). Deglazing is not a culinary technique only master chefs can perfect as it's an easy way for home chefs to up their cooking game, too.
Simply pour a few shots of white wine into the pan to instantly elevate the Alfredo's flavors. This works because, according to Bon Appétit, adding liquid to a hot pan allows for all the caramelized bits at the bottom to release.
Be careful to stand back when pouring the wine into the skillet as Fieri warns it can flare up. Beyond chicken Alfredo, white wine is a versatile ingredient that can be used to deglaze many dishes. If you don't have a bottle of white on hand, here are some substitutions for cooking wine that you might already have at home.
