The chicken turns out to be quite tasty, but no one canceled the experiments. Next time I want to cook it according to the same recipe, but adding other spices. Garlic gives chicken meat a special flavor, so I wouldn't rule it out. But I'm ready to "play" with the rest of the seasonings.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh meat, otherwise the finished meat risks getting dry.
