About Tandoori chicken thigh

Tandoori Chicken Thigh is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, renowned for its bold flavors and vibrant red hue. Marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and an aromatic blend of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and paprika, this dish is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven for a smoky, charred finish. Grilled or oven-roasted variations are also popular, offering a slightly different texture. Tandoori Chicken Thigh is rich in protein, making it a satisfying option for maintaining muscle health and providing sustained energy. The spices used carry potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits as well. However, it can be higher in sodium due to the marinade and seasoning, so moderation is key. Pair it with wholesome sides like roasted vegetables or brown rice for a balanced meal that aligns with your dietary goals.
