Portuguese-style barbecued chicken, also known as 'Frango no Churrasco,' is a flavorful and spicy dish that's perfect for summer grilling. The combination of red hot chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice creates a delicious marinade that makes this chicken explode with flavor. Follow this simple recipe to bring a taste of Portugal to your own backyard.
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- If you don't have a barbecue, you can also cook the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until done.
- Baste the chicken occasionally with the remaining marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
- For extra char and flavor, grill the chicken over high heat for the last few minutes of cooking.
Portuguese-style barbecued chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a mouth-watering, spicy chicken that is perfect for any outdoor gathering.
