About Espetada de frango

Espetada de Frango is a flavorful dish originating from Portuguese cuisine, specifically Madeira. This grilled chicken skewer features marinated chicken pieces seasoned with garlic, paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs, often accompanied by vegetables like bell peppers and onions. Traditionally cooked over open flames, it delivers a smoky, charred taste that amplifies the marinade's bold flavors. Rich in lean protein from the chicken, Espetada de Frango supports muscle health and keeps you feeling full. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while the herbs and spices offer antioxidants. However, depending on cooking methods or added marinades, it can be high in sodium or fats. Pairing it with fresh salads or roasted vegetables balances the nutritional profile, making it a wholesome, satisfying meal rooted in Mediterranean-inspired eating.
