Experience True Portuguese Frango Assado (grilled chicken) at PiriPiri

True Portuguese chicken is about mastering the fire, not hiding the meat behind heavy marinades. We bring the authentic taste of Portugal straight to your table with our traditional Frango Assado, focusing on quality ingredients and time-honored cooking techniques.

The Art of the Preparation
We prepare our chicken the exact way it has been done for generations. Each bird is carefully spatchcocked (butterflied) to ensure a perfectly even cook and a crispy texture across the board.
Rather than submerging the chicken in overpowering liquids beforehand, we believe in the power of simplicity. We season our chicken exclusively with coarse salt, oil, and fresh garlic. This minimalist approach ensures that the natural richness of the meat remains the star of the dish.

Cooked Over Real Charcoal
The true character of Frango Assado comes from the heat source. Our chicken is cooked slowly over real charcoal grills. As the oil and natural juices hit the hot coals, the rising smoke envelops the meat, creating a perfectly blistered skin and a deep, authentic smoky flavor that cannot be replicated in a standard kitchen oven or flat-top grill.

The Signature PiriPiri Experience
A perfectly charcoal-grilled piece of chicken should speak for itself. For that reason, our signature PiriPiri sauce is always served on the side—we never brush it on the chicken before or during the cooking process.

Serving the sauce on the side allows you to experience the pure, unadulterated flavor of the traditional charcoal grill first. It also gives you complete control over your meal, allowing you to dip and customize the heat level exactly to your personal preference, bite by bite.
