About Tandoori chicken thighs

Tandoori Chicken Thighs are a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, celebrated for their bold, smoky aromas and vibrant spices. Marinated in a mixture of yogurt, garlic, ginger, and traditional tandoori seasonings like turmeric, cumin, and paprika, the chicken is then grilled or baked to achieve its signature charred exterior and tender interior. High in protein and rich in flavor, this dish is a healthier alternative to fried chicken, especially when cooked without heavy oils. The yogurt-based marinade not only enhances flavor but also tenderizes the meat while providing probiotics. However, watch for added salts or high-fat sides like naan or cream-based sauces often served alongside. Tandoori Chicken Thighs can be a nutritious, high-protein meal when paired with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced plate.
