Galinha à portuguesa explained
Portuguese chicken[1] (Chinese: t=葡國雞|s=葡国鸡|first=t), also known as Portuguese-style chicken or galinha à portuguesa[2] (pronounced as /pt/) is a dish found in Macanese cuisine.
Despite its name, Portuguese chicken did not originate from Portugal, but from its former colony Macau.[2] The dish is not found in Portuguese cuisine.[3]
The dish consists of chicken pieces served with Portuguese sauce, which is likened to a mild yellow curry thickened with coconut milk.[4]
