Frango, with marinated chicken legs wrapped in bacon, offers a rich and savory flavor profile.
The chicken provides a tender and succulent base, enhanced by the smoky and salty flavor of the bacon. The marinade, which may contain garlic, paprika, lemon juice, and herbs like bay leaf or thyme, infuses the chicken with a depth of savory and aromatic notes. The grilling or roasting process creates a slightly caramelized exterior, adding another layer of flavor.

Marinating Time
Marinate the chicken legs for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Bacon Quality
Use good quality bacon that will render its fat properly during cooking, adding flavor and preventing the chicken from drying out.
Cooking Temperature
Cook the chicken over medium heat, rotating frequently, to ensure even cooking and prevent the bacon from burning before the chicken is fully cooked.
Internal Temperature
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
