GEORGIAN SPICED CHICKEN

Khmeli-Suneli is a Georgian spice mix that is comprised of different dried spices and is so very tasty. I can not even begin to tell you how good and flavorful this dish is. How easy and effortless it is. How succulent and appetizing the chicken baked with all the spices gets.

Khmeli-Suneli is a popular spice in the Caucasus. You can use it in poultry, meat and seafood dishes, cooked vegetables, soups, sauces, marinades and even salads. It's very versatile, so don't be afraid to put it to use.

You can purchase a packet of this spice mix in European food stores, on amazon or even make it yourself at home! Just follow my recipe for a homemade khmeli-suneli spice mix- regular or compressed version.

Happy cooking!
