About Tandoori chicken leg skin on

Tandoori Chicken Leg Skin On is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, renowned for its smoky and aromatic profile. The chicken leg, marinated with a blend of yogurt, spices such as turmeric, cumin, and paprika, is traditionally cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor, giving it its signature char and tenderness. Leaving the skin on adds richness and moisture but also increases the calorie and fat content. This dish is high in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair, while spices like turmeric and ginger offer anti-inflammatory benefits. However, it can be high in sodium depending on the marinade. Pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can balance its nutritional value and create a wholesome meal. Tandoori Chicken combines bold flavors with a hearty, satisfying texture, making it a popular choice for fans of grilled or roasted meats.
