About Frango a passarinho

Frango à Passarinho is a traditional Brazilian dish featuring chicken pieces seasoned and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The recipe typically includes garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice, and occasionally herbs or spices for added flavor. A hallmark of Brazilian cuisine, this savory favorite is often served with a sprinkle of parsley and accompanied by sides like rice, beans, or farofa. While this dish is rich in protein from the chicken, its deep-fried preparation adds significant fat content, making it less ideal for those seeking low-calorie or heart-healthy meals. Variations using air fryers or baking methods can offer lighter alternatives while maintaining the flavorful essence of this beloved dish.
