The seasoning also can enhance the flavor of the thing it is seasoning. Chocolate syrup is great on ice cream, but not on chicken. Barbecue sauce is good on chicken and not on ice cream. That a given seasoning can be better or worse based on the underlying food would imply that foods have a characteristic of improving more or less given some particular seasoning. The point is that chicken has the ability to improve greatly with the right seasoning, which might not be as true of some other foods. There’s also texture and nutrition, of course.
That said, chickens don’t deserve to be tortured and killed to meet the carnal pleasures of man.
Good point! But I feel like chicken is the one meat that is very easy to replicate taste wise. I had “fake chicken” that tasted identical to the real thing, and that was because of the seasoning. So yeah, chicken may have a subtle taste that is improved greatly by seasoning but the same can be said for tofu or other supplements. And if you use the same seasoning as you’d use for chicken, I’d argue most people would only find a difference in the texture.
But in the end it’s all about personal taste I guess.
And 100% agree on your last point, no living being deserves that.
