How does Tandoori chicken fit a cut vs a bulk?

At 11.2g of protein per 100 kcal, Tandoori chicken is protein-dense relative to its calories — useful on a calorie deficit (a cut) because it helps hit a daily protein target without spending many of the day's remaining calories. It fits a calorie surplus (a bulk) just as easily; on a bulk, the calorie cost matters less, so portion size is usually driven by appetite and total daily targets rather than by protein efficiency.
