7 Spice Chicken
This spiced chicken was made with all the simple ingredients you can find in your kitchen. The newest addition to my spice collection is ground onion. That spice is like a cure to any kitchen meal, it is everything. Also, who says NO to paprika, ginger, rosemary, thyme and garlic? If you know how to combine your spices well, then you will not have any problem with what you use them on.
