Blog

It’s wild to remember a time when opening Instagram didn’t immediately launch a 30-second, cinematic video of a mouthwatering meal. But back in 2010 when we started our Paleo recipe blog, all we had was a basic website, a Facebook page, and a YouTube channel. (Cue the "back in my day..." groans!) These days, it feels like text-based blogs are a thing of the past. Everyone is heading straight to TikTok for quick video fixes from their favorite creators.

16 years into our careers as recipe creators, I've been wondering lately if the diet that sparked our journey is still relevant today. You might be wondering the same thing if you've been with us since the beginning. 

What are the best spices for poultry?

I don't believe in hard-and-fast rules when it comes to seasoning a chicken thigh, but when you're planning a full meal, knowing which flavors naturally complement each other helps.

• For a comforting, classic roast chicken or turkey: Think savory herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, chives, and marjoram, balanced with garlic and onion. This profile is perfect alongside classic sides like mashed potatoes, a crisp salad, or roasted green vegetables.
• For Asian-inspired chicken dishes: Reach for garlic, onion, ginger, red pepper flakes, and scallions.
• For a warm, smoky kick: Opt for smoked paprika, sweet paprika, garlic, onion, and a touch of cayenne.
