About Portuguese chicken thigh
Portuguese Chicken Thigh is a flavorful dish inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Portugal. This dish typically features bone-in chicken thighs marinated in a vibrant blend of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, and piri-piri spice—giving it a balance of tangy, smoky, and mildly spicy flavors. Often grilled or baked to perfection, it achieves a crispy skin while remaining tender and juicy inside. Chicken thighs are a great source of lean protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic offers antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, the skin contains saturated fat, and some preparations may include added sodium from seasoning, so moderation is key. Paired with a side of vegetables or whole grains, Portuguese Chicken Thigh serves as a delicious, balanced option that celebrates the bold flavors of Iberian cuisine.
