About Tandoori chicken leg quarter

Tandoori Chicken Leg Quarter is a flavorful, traditional dish originating from Indian cuisine. This popular recipe features marinated chicken leg quarters, soaked in a spiced yogurt-based mixture with ingredients like garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric. The marinating process infuses the meat with robust flavors, and it’s traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, lending it a smoky, charred finish. Packed with protein, this dish is a nutritious option, especially when skinless chicken is used. The spices provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, and the yogurt delivers a probiotic boost for gut health. However, it can be high in sodium, depending on the marinade, so moderation is key. Pairing it with whole grains, fresh vegetables, and lighter sides can help create a balanced meal while enhancing its vibrant taste.
