How do you add flavor to already cooked chicken?

Can you add seasoning after cooking?
When to Add:
Herbs may be added near the end of cooking for more distinct flavor, or at the beginning for more blended flavors. Ground spices and herbs release their flavors readily. In long cooking dishes, such as stews, add these near the end of the cooking time to minimize the “cooking off” of its flavors.
