Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken

Portuguese style cuisine, it is an experience by itself. Designed to the highest standards of the food industry with all safety and health regulations implemented carefully.

Using recipes mastered by the Portuguese hundreds of years ago, our flame grilled flavors became so popular that we franchised the business in 1998. Since then we have opened outlets in 16 countries including South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Namibia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sudan, Canada, United Kingdom, Dubai, Mauritius, Maldives, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and growing. The current trend which is moving towards poultry products both for health and affordability reasons combined with the Barcelos concept is undoubtedly a recipe for success.

A dedicated team is the driving force behind the operations of this specialist franchise company and this approach of hard work and passion corroborates an ideal business partner for the novice in the food industry. Full operational and managerial training are the pillars of this enterprising company. Ongoing product and systems development supports this concept of franchising and makes for a profitable Fast Food concept.

The Barcelos range of chicken products are known for their quality and generous portions, and promote return visits to the site. As important as the Barcelos Legend is, so is the marinade recipe used for Barcelos Chicken, which is so old its origins cannot be traced. Using the finest quality chickens, Barcelos Chickens are marinated for 24 hours and then flame grilled to absolute perfection.
