Usage Suggestions

For Classic Portuguese Chicken:

Empty the contents of the sachet into a bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil (olive or vegetable) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar.

Mix into a thick paste.

Coat 1 kg of chicken (pieces, thighs, or a whole spatchcocked chicken) thoroughly with the paste.

Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or ideally several hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

Grill, barbecue, roast, or air fry until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.

Other Creative Uses:

Wings & Drummies: Toss chicken wings in the prepared paste before baking or frying.

Potatoes: Cut potatoes into wedges, toss with a little of the dry seasoning and oil, and roast.

Prawns & Fish: Make a lighter marinade for seafood (reduce marinating time to 15-20 mins).

Vegetables: Excellent on roasted cauliflower, peppers, and onions.

Sprinkle: Use the dry spice mix sparingly as a seasoning rub for steak or burgers.
