Frango's Petersham Charcoal Chicken

Giant hot pits of coal, huge braziers, iron cages filled with meat and queues out the door for the frango de churrasco (aka barbecued chook) are what you’ll find here. It doesn’t look like much outside or in, what with the Laminex tables and 70s style countertop, but head out the back to the seated area and you’ll find beers in the fridge and house-made hot sauce in squeezy bottles – perfect on the fried pork sandwich. The chicken is the main event here though: butterflied, grilled and spiced with plenty of hot sauce.
