About Chicken tikka leg

Chicken Tikka Leg is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, featuring chicken drumsticks marinated in a blend of yogurt and spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and paprika. The marinade tenderizes the meat while infusing it with bold, smoky flavors. Traditionally, it is cooked in a tandoor oven, giving the chicken its distinctive charred edges and juicy texture, though grilling or baking are common alternatives. This high-protein dish is relatively low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for many meal plans. Yogurt contributes probiotics and creaminess without excessive fat, while the spices provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, depending on preparation, added oils or excessive sodium could be a concern. Paired with fresh vegetables or a light salad, Chicken Tikka Leg can be a nutrient-packed and versatile choice for a balanced meal.
