Place chicken in a shallow dish. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to barely coat the meat. Rub chicken liberally with 4 tablespoons of the spice blend. Let stand 10 minutes.

Add mint, parsley, salt, and pepper, and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. The bones and skin will help the chicken stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken overnight, you can marinate it for as little as 30 minutes. Just be sure to turn the chicken pieces a few times during the marinating process.
  • Use a variety of spices in your marinade. This will give the chicken a complex and flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking methods. Israeli spice chicken can be roasted, grilled, pan-fried, or even smoked.
  • Serve Israeli spice chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
