Galinha a Portuguesa

Galinha à Portuguesa or "Portuguese-style Chicken" is a dish of Macanese cuisine. Despite its name, ''Galinha à Portuguesa'' did not originate from Portugal as such; rather it came from Macau, a Special Administrative Region of China formerly under Portuguese rule, where the dish was given the "Portuguese" name to enhance its status.

''Galinha à Portuguesa'' is served as pieces of chicken, potato and sometimes boiled rice with a mild, coconut-based, curry-like sauce, baked till golden and with a distinctive aroma.
