Portuguese chicken, also known as Frango Piri-Piri, is a flavorful dish bursting with rich and spicy flavors. Native to Portugal, this recipe combines garlic, chili peppers, and paprika to create a tantalizing marinade that infuses the chicken with delicious aromas. Accompanied by roasted potatoes and red onions, this meal is perfect for a hearty family dinner or an impressive dish for guests.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 3 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for even and efficient roasting.
- Cut the potatoes and onions into uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly alongside the chicken.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach at least 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
- Baste the chicken with the juices from the roasting pan halfway through cooking for added moisture and flavor.
With its vibrant spices and roasted aroma, Portuguese chicken is a satisfying dish that brings the taste of Portugal to your table. The combination of tender, marinated chicken and crispy roasted vegetables makes for an unforgettable meal. Enjoy your Portuguese chicken with a side of fresh salad or some crusty bread for a complete dining experience.
