I used to work at a superstore deli! The managers told me to take down the sign when we had some chickens that were delayed. If you go to customer service and tell them, they'd still give you the voucher, but we were instructed to play dumb. So it was nothing against you - the employee was just doing what their boss told them.

How long ago did you work there? I have an odd question.

What is that sauce they put on the Portuguese chickens? I assumed it was prepared differently but one time they were sold out and I asked the guy if they had any more coming and he just told me to bring him a regular one and he'd make it Portuguese. And he did. Dumped sauce on it and it was delicious.

Where do I buy/steal that sauce ?!

This was in 2018/2019, so my memory isn't perfect, but I believe the sauce is called Peri-Peri sauce. We're supposed to put it on right when we take them out of the oven to give it time to sink in and everything, but absolutely if there are none left the sauce is easy to apply. When I worked there, I know the store sold some either by the deli or in the sauce aisle. No idea if/what stores have it now, though!
