Paprika or Smoked Paprika – It is often used in Chicken Recipes because it adds extra flavor and offers a beautiful color. With garlic, paprika can turn a simple chicken recipe into a delicacy.
Garlic Powder or Fresh Garlic – Garlic has a unique flavor that we are all familiar with. It has a little strong and spicy aroma while fresh, but it loses that aroma and leaves a distinct pleasant aroma when cooked. The combination of paprika and garlic in practically any roasted or baked chicken dish is the foundation of almost any chicken dish.
Coriander – It is recommended to add coriander leaves before the chicken is placed in the oven. This will spread the flavor throughout the preparation and harmonize with the other spices.
Parsley – The parsley has a flavor that is both refreshing and aromatic. It goes well with practically any chicken dish and may be combined with several additional spices. Other herbs, such as dill or basil, can also be utilized.
