Whether it is a classic Chicken Xacuti or the herby Chicken Cafreal, there is no dearth of chicken dishes in Goa. So ditch the seafood and try these next time. 

Covered in a thick green sauce made of coriander leaves, chillies and several spices, Chicken Cafreal is a gift of the Portuguese to Goa. Pair with rice and enjoy. 

 A coastal favourite, the vindaloo was born out of a Portuguese dish where meat was cooked in wine. Replaced by vinegar and local spices, we’ve got Goan chicken vindaloo. 

Made with white poppy seeds and coconut, this classic Goan curry is a burst of flavours in the mouth. Add to that some chicken and your curry is ready. 

This is a delicious snack-like dish, that can be easily found on the streets on the Goa. Batter-fried chicken dunked in a pao with veggies and sauce tastes heavenly. 

Shallow-fried chicken pieces coated in rava or semolina, these crispy chicken bites are a must-have in Goa. Pair with your favourite chutneys and enjoy.
