About Frangos charcoal chicken

Frangos Charcoal Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Portuguese cuisine, renowned for its rich, smoky taste. Prepared by marinating chicken in a blend of spices and herbs like garlic, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, and occasionally chili for heat, the chicken is then grilled over charcoal, imparting a distinctive aroma and charred texture. This cooking method minimizes the need for additional fats, making it a lean protein option. Rich in essential nutrients such as protein, iron, and B vitamins, it supports muscle repair and overall energy levels. The marinade's olive oil and lemon juice contribute heart-healthy fats and vitamin C. However, pairing or serving options, such as fries or heavy sauces, might add extra calories and fats. Opting for steamed vegetables or salads alongside ensures a balanced and nutritious meal while retaining the authentic flavor of this Portuguese classic.
