About Frango frito

Frango Frito, or Brazilian-style fried chicken, is a popular dish known for its golden, crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful meat. Typically prepared by marinating chicken pieces in a blend of garlic, lime juice, and spices like paprika and black pepper, the chicken is then coated in seasoned flour or breadcrumbs before being deep-fried. A staple in Brazilian cuisine, Frango Frito is often served alongside traditional sides like rice, beans, or fresh salads. While the dish boasts high protein content, the deep-frying process can add significant calories and unhealthy fats, making moderation key for a balanced diet. For a healthier twist, it can be baked or air-fried to retain its crispiness while reducing overall fat content. This savory dish highlights Brazil's vibrant culinary traditions while offering customizable approaches to suit diverse dietary needs.
