Ghee Roast Chicken

Ghee Roast Chicken – Indian Twist which is Healthy

There is no denying the fact that chicken is one of the best lean sources of protein. A source which is traditionally low on calories and filled with a lot of good things. If you are on a weightloss journey or on a muscle gain journey, chicken if my go to source of protein other than eggs of course. Usually a dietician would recommend having boiled chicken. But hey having boiled chicken warrants that one has a strong determination to glup down that stinky piece sans any taste whatsoever. At least I could never bring myself to eat that. So I went figuring out what was the reason for the additional calories in our usual chicken curry. The answer is simple 1. The onions in the masala 2. The excess oil we add while cooking. Answer, instead of cooking the chicken the usual way, one can work with the ghee roasted chicken which takes about 15 minutes to cook and does not add the extras.
