sugues

Sugues, also known as sugues de frango, are a traditional Portuguese dish consisting of small, thin, and crispy chicken cutlets. The term "sugue" translates to "suckling" in English, referring to the thinness of the cutlets. These cutlets are typically made from chicken breast or thigh meat, which is pounded thin and seasoned with salt and pepper. They are then coated in a light batter made from flour and water, and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. Sugues are often served as an appetizer or a light meal, accompanied by a variety of dipping sauces such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or a spicy sauce. The dish is a popular street food in Portugal and is often found in local markets and food stalls. Sugues are a simple yet delicious way to enjoy chicken, showcasing the country's culinary heritage.
