Following the Dicionario Priberam da Lingua Portuguesa, the frango is "the son of the chicken that is no longer a chick and not still a rooster". Which means that "frango" is a young adult male chicken while "galinha" is a female adult chicken! It is important to make the difference as you should never eat "galinha assada" instead of "frango assado"!! Etonnant non?
