Galinha à africana

Galinha à africana, also known as African chicken, is a Macanese dish of grilled or roasted chicken coated in a spicy piri piri sauce that sometimes includes Asian ingredients, reflecting Macau colonial-era Portuguese heritage. Its precise origin is debated: one account credits its creation to chef Americo Angelo in the 1940s using spices obtained from Portugal African colonies, another holds that Portuguese families in Macau passed the recipe down for generations, and a third traces it to Portuguese army officers who served in Africa and later opened cafes in Macau, serving foods they had grown fond of overseas. It is considered a variant of piri piri chicken and is regarded as one of Macau renowned dishes.
