    Never tried their whole chickens. Any good?

    • +3

      Here's your chance :)

      And honestly I've only ever had Oporto once, that was a burger! I'd hazard a guess the whole chicken is close to Nando's, and probably about Nando's pricing! Which would mean this should bring a whole chicken under $10 :)

      Edit: Called the local, they said a whole chicken is $15… $7.50 for a whole portugese style chicken is a bargain :)

    • Not much different to a woolies chicken, tbh. It's cooked in an oven and then when you order it, they put it over a grill for a bit.

      for $7.50 yes, but for $15.00 no.

    • +3

      I think they're awesome.
      Much better than any chicken from a supermarket.

      I've spent the $15 quite a few times for the privilege.

        Especially when you ask them to add the chilli sauce.

    I hope store owners honour this deal

      Just tried it at the 24hr oporto store in Adelaide, the manager said the deal works everywhere but SA. Sounds like a big pile of bs to me.

      • Which one was this?

        • 24hr Oporto on Poultney st :(

      • That would explain why the Facebook link won't show anything for people in SA.

        • Strange they don't at least just state that it excludes SA, instead making the FB post localised :/

        • @Spackbace:

          Yeah had a feeling we might be excluded as Flame Rewards also excludes SA only. I'll call one of the standalone stores (not 24/7 petrol station one) in the morning to see what they say.

        • @hamza23:

          Jees no one loves SA :P I think Krispy Kreme exclude you half the time as well lol

        • +1

          @Spackbace:

          Yeah probably the same reason for both things. Krispy Kreme SA stores are owned and run seperately by On The Run, who also have a lot of Oporto stores (all the 24/7 petrol station ones), amongst other things. Will see what a non On The Run store says tomorrow to see if it's all SA stores or just On The Run SA stores excluded. With the Flame Rewards it's just easier for them to exclude all SA rather than just the OTR stores I guess, probably be the same deal with the promos.

        • +1

          @Spackbace:

          Tranmere SA store can do it, however it sounds like they weren't made aware of the promo so it would probably be hit and miss at other stores (especially OTR).

          You can add that to the OP if you want :P

    Winner winner, chicken dinner

    The two local Oporto have closed down near me and for good reason their offering was sub par.

    My SO had Oporto when it was owned by the founder and it was completely different taste wise and was original.

    • Original Bondi Oporto was amazing.

      Made me excited.

      • +1

        Good to see you made it back, Kev.

        • RIP, Ozbargain filled a void in my life created by the passing of Big Kev

        • +1

          For those lost & confused.

        • @steamtrain: I'm excited…..

    • My two local ones closed down too :( one was because they were forced to due to renovations though. Sucks because it's my favourite fast food. I have to drive over half an hour away for it now.

  • +1

    Hopefully belmont WA store will honour this

    • I am also going to try it tomorrow. Let me know once if they honour it.

    • Were you successful?

      • I was bz at work couldnt go to belmont maybe later dinner.. How did you guys go??

        • I'm going to try later.
          U can pop over to KFC across the road and get cheap chips:p

        • 30min wait at south Perth.

  • Do they charge extra for their chilli sauce if you buy a whole chicken ?

    • As far as the Oporto I have gone, they ask if you want chilli basting. They don't give the free chilli sauce anymore.

  • I rarely ever have Oporto anymore. I find it to be over priced for what you get.
    And I also used to work there so it's never been the same since.
    I would never ever eat at the Melb Central store. I used to work in QV and was assigned to clean Melb Central… things may have changed now but for me it's will always be no.

    • whats the difference they say portuguese grilled n to normal grill chicken?

      • +1

        i think the main difference is when you add the piri piri.
        other than that it's put on a rotisserie then grilled over gas.
        If it were me i would prefer a good charcoal chicken then add the piri piri ;)

  • WOW
    Cheaper than dead chook Tuesdays at Woollies.

  • Excludes SA.. crap!

  • Technically, Tuesday Midnight is last night. So is this deal expired or have they just worded the promotion incorrectly?

    • +1

      I think it's still 11:59pm tonight, they're replying just now to comments on Facebook about where it's being done etc, rather than saying "sorry was only yesterday"

      So - badly worded, safe to say it ends tonight :)

      • +1

        the ad is on the radio this morning, it ends tonight ;)

        • If they're advertising to that extent, expect queues in stores tonight!

        • -1

          @Spackbace: If it's advertised on radio, I'm expecting bottom feeders and technophobes. Who listens to radio nowadays? Music with ads interspersed with below average banter.

  • Thanks OP. All good at Oporto Myer Centre Brisbane. I was the first customer to ask about it over there and the guy said, he thought the manager mentioned about it but he had to verify with his mobile app.

  • just picked one up for lunch. verbal mention only. delicious. shame about the 1pp or i'd have grabbed several for the office.

      You ate a whole chicken for yourself?

    • +1

      picked/ate are two different words, but it can be done if you're hungry enough

  • No one in Australia makes good chicken

    • You haven't tried Charcoal Kingdom, Rockdale NSW yet :)

    Honoured at Oxford St Oportos in Darlinghurst. Thanks OP!

    • I love Darlinghurst.

  • Just grabbed one at Eastgardens, no need to show anything. Thanks OP.

  • Not accepted in the campbelltown stores. Showed them the post even spoke to the manager but they wont honor it. Lol

  • Went to Castle Hills, they said we sold out all wholr chicken and none left.

  • "sold out of chicken" when I asked at fortitude valley shop a few hours ago. Business must hv been good. Went to KFC instead.

  • Soldout in Westmead.

  • Went to Kingsford store and was told have to wait 50 min after ordering.

  • +1

    I have used my $5 sign up voucher
    1 whole chicken
    Jalapeño Bites
    All cost me just $5
    True oZbargained :D

  • 2x Lemon Herb chickens with out issue in Sydney NSW :)
    Updooted accordingly :)

    Can't help but wonder what the turnover increase is like with this promotion.
    Also with the increased sales, if the profit is similar to usual or more due to sides also being ordered.
    Oporto would be wise to look at the figures here and decide if they've potentially opened a goldmine when it comes to this promotion.

  • DONT GO TO BALCATTA WA STORE - they're out of chicken!!!
    They'll give you 50% other items if you ask for the chicken, but who goes to Oporto not for the chicken? That's like going to KFC for a pork burger!

    • …Mmmmmm…pork

  • Just got one @ 614-628 George St. Sydney,
    You'll need to wait 30 mins after ordering!!

  • +1

    Both Melbourne CBD locations were sold out when I checked around 5:30. I could see people turning up and being turned down, me included. The QV one sold out at around 3pm, I was told.

  • Got one from Newtown, NSW at around 6.30pm. They had printed signs on registers saying no more whole flame grilled chicken, come back later. I still waited and asked when we need to return. Was told I could purchase straight away, but had to wait 10mins for chicken to be cooked. Didn't have to show anything. ChIcken was nice but not amazing. Thanks OP.

  • Went to one store they said wait 20 minutes and then the manager said sold out. Looked like they wanted to stop selling the chicken at a loss. Went to the second store, ordered the chicken they wanted to charge full price. After they heard I wanted the special they said wait for 40 minutes. Came back in at 40 minutes no chicken. They sent most of their staff home and there was only one kid working in the back unusual. Oporto Edmondson park and Oporto Padstow disapointment. Gave up and went to eat shabu shabu instead. Was prepared for the chicken as I bought two regular KFC chicken.

  • St Leonards worked, although manager told the cashier only one per person as I was about to order another one. Just got my friend to buy the 2nd one. FYI I did not eat 2 whole chickens, was buying them for a colleagues birthday lunch haha

    Had one yesterday. Great deal! Thanks op!
