Why it works: Garlic and parsley match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 4% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 9,308 recipes. Both carry beta-phellandrene, which smells minty, terpene. The science ↓
Chicken Biscuits
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the dough
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Combine flours, powdered milk, garlic powder and parsley in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water. Stir well and add Chicken Stock.
Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Using your hands, combine all ingredients completely.
Knead several minutes.
Shape and bake
Sprinkle board with additional rice flour and roll out dough to 1/4" thickness.
Cut with a cookie cutter (or knife) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Brush lightly with egg glaze and bake for 45 mins.
Turn heat off and let biscuits dry out in oven for several hours or overnight.
Nutrition, whole recipe (rough)

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs
What each ingredient does
- Whole wheat flour
- Provides the main structure and body of the dough.
- Soy flour
- Adds protein and helps give the dough structure and a tender bite.
- Rice flour
- Adds a crisp, light texture and keeps the rolled dough from sticking.
- Active dry yeast
- Ferments the dough so it rises and develops a lighter crumb.
- Chicken stock
- Supplies the liquid that hydrates the flours and adds savory flavor.
The step that matters
Drying the biscuits in the oven. Leaving the baked biscuits in the oven after heat is off is what dries them out and makes them crisp and shelf-stable. Cutting them too thick or skipping the drying time can leave them soft and moist inside.
Swap the parsley
How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (wheat, flour, rice, milk, garlic, chicken, beef):
- Turmericfits better
- Cuminfits better
- Cinnamonfits better
- Parsleythe original
Fit is the average pairing score against wheat, flour, rice, milk, garlic, chicken, beef. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
