About Sekela chicken

Sekela Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in East African cuisine, showcasing bold spices and vibrant flavors. It typically features marinated chicken seasoned with a blend of garlic, ginger, turmeric, paprika, and chili, then grilled or pan-fried to achieve a smoky and tender finish. This dish is rich in protein, making it a satisfying and energy-sustaining option for meals. The use of fresh herbs and spices enhances its nutritional profile with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. While Sekela Chicken is generally healthier than heavily processed or fried alternatives, depending on preparation, it may include moderate amounts of oil or chili, which some individuals might want to adjust for dietary needs. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or whole-grain sides makes for a well-rounded, nutritious meal that celebrates East African culinary traditions.
