Piri Piri Chicken Sandwich

Portuguese people can definitely cook, but what we're even better at is whipping together a sandwich! The chicken and linguica combo give you a 1/2 punch of mild and spice. The egg and onion give you a crunch and some texture, and the cheese just melts in your mouth. Enjoy this in your quintal!
If you are Portuguese American you may qualify for Portuguese citizenship by descent.
