I guess if you like that sort of thing. I do not care for chicken to begin
with and I do not like certain seasonings with meat. That would include
allspice, nutmeg or cinnamon. Also do not like fruit or fruit juice with
meat. It is not a popular seasoning in this part of the country. Some
restaurants tried it but it didn't go over well.
