MACAU-STYLE PORTUGUESE CHICKEN

Macau-Style Portuguese Chicken image

This comforting golden curry recipe is one of the national dishes of my hometown, Macau. Since moving to Toronto, I searched and could not find an authentic version of the dish that reminded me of the dish I grew up having. My version is close and holds a special place in my heart. - Sammi Pun, Sam's Edit
