Fried chicken, in its various forms, has a long history around the world. In Brazil, the development of Frango a Passarinho was influenced by European culinary techniques brought by colonizers, combined with local ingredients and cooking styles. The 'passarinho' (little bird) aspect likely refers to the small, bite-sized pieces that became characteristic of this dish, distinct from whole or larger cut fried chicken preparations.

Funzionalità Premium
Frango a Passarinho boasts a savory and often garlicky flavor profile, highlighted by crispy skin and juicy meat.
The primary flavor is savory from the chicken itself, enhanced by garlic, salt, pepper, and sometimes a touch of herbs. The crispy skin provides a textural contrast and richer flavor due to the frying process. Some variations include marinade with citrus juices or white wine, adding a tangy element. Often served with lime wedges for an added burst of freshness.

Chicken Preparation
Use small, evenly sized pieces of chicken (wings, drumettes, or cut-up thighs). Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to promote crisping.
Seasoning
Don't be shy with the garlic! A generous amount of minced garlic is crucial for the characteristic flavor. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, for deeper flavor penetration.
Frying Technique
Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil). Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and lowering the oil temperature. Ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F or 175°C) for optimal crisping. Double frying can enhance the crispiness even further.
