What is Portuguese Chicken?

Portuguese Chicken

Portuguese Chicken, also known as “Frango à Portuguesa,” is a traditional dish that highlights the distinctive flavours of Portugal. Typically, this dish is prepared by marinating the chicken in a mixture of spices and herbs, then roasting or grilling it until perfectly cooked. The result is juicy, flavorful chicken with crispy skin and tender meat. This dish is a staple in Portuguese households and is enjoyed by many people worldwide.

Portuguese chicken seasoning

The distinctive flavour of Portuguese Chicken comes from its unique seasoning.  At McKays Family Butchers, we marinate the chicken in our secret recipe, imparting a rich, savoury flavour.
