Mark Portugal Day with a Free Feed as Oporto Gives Away 10,000 Flame-Grilled Chickens to Celebrate
Say obrigado this Dia De Portugal, as each participating store hands out free chickens — first come, first served.
There aren't many better, or cheaper, ways to feed an entire family than a hot roast chook. And with the cool winter weather meaning the rich, tender, warming flavours hit even harder, now is the perfect time to load one into the oven.
However, Portuguese chicken maestros Oporto are inviting you to put your feet up this winter with a special holiday giveaway. From 12pm on Tuesday, June 10, over 200 participating stores across the nation are handing out 10,000 Portuguese flame-grilled chickens for free.
Coinciding with Dia De Portugal, aka Portugal Day, this festive event is the ideal excuse to get the whole family together — or your closest pals — with a free meal bound to fill your belly and lift your mood this cold season.
"This is about more than just chicken," says Ben Simmons, head of marketing at Oporto. "Dia De Portugal, or Portugal Day, is a global event in Portuguese culture, and what better way to mark it than with our craveable, Portuguese flame-grilled chicken? It's our way of bringing people together with food, flavour and generosity."
Made the Portuguese way — that means butterflied and basted in flavourful options like lemon and herb, original chilli or extremo picante — these flame-grilled treats are incredible on their own or served with plenty of hearty sides.
Each participating restaurant has a minimum of 50 free chickens to give away, with a limit of one per customer. If you miss out, the good news is that Oporto's much-loved Bondi Burger is also available for $5 to mark the occasion, too.
Oporto's 10,000 free chicken giveaway is available at participating stores from 12pm on Tuesday, June 10. Head to the website for more information.
