About Barcelos quarter chicken and spicy rice

Barcelos Quarter Chicken and Spicy Rice is a flavorful dish inspired by Portuguese and African cuisine. The meal features a tender, flame-grilled quarter chicken marinated in Barcelos' signature peri-peri sauce, known for its zesty blend of chili, garlic, lemon, and spices. Accompanying the chicken is a serving of spicy rice, seasoned with aromatic herbs and mild heat for a satisfying side. Rich in protein and brimming with bold flavors, the chicken is a healthier option when grilled, as it retains nutrients while minimizing extra fats. However, sodium levels from marinades and seasonings may be higher, so moderation is advised. The spicy rice offers carbohydrates for energy but contains added oils and spices that may increase caloric intake. Ideal for those seeking a balanced treat with a kick, this vibrant dish celebrates global flavors while encouraging mindful eating.
