A close-up view of a metal food tray filled with steaming pieces of cooked chicken, seasoned with a reddish-brown spice mix. The chicken appears tender and slightly charred in spots, suggesting it was grilled or roasted. A pair of metal tongs is holding one piece above the tray, ready to serve. The background shows other trays, likely part of a buffet or food service setup, but they are out of focus. Steam rising from the chicken indicates it is hot and freshly prepared.
