About Brazilian fried chicken ball
Brazilian Fried Chicken Balls, known as "Coxinha" in Portuguese, are a beloved snack from Brazilian cuisine. These golden, teardrop-shaped treats feature a filling of seasoned shredded chicken, often mixed with spices, herbs, and sometimes cream cheese for added richness. The filling is encased in a dough made from wheat flour and chicken broth, then molded into shape, coated with breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to crispy perfection. While undeniably delicious, their fried preparation means they are high in calories and fat, making them an indulgent option best enjoyed in moderation. Coxinhas can provide protein from the chicken and carbohydrates from the dough, but they are not typically a source of significant vitamins or fiber. Healthier alternatives include baking the Coxinhas or using whole-grain breadcrumbs. Popular as street food or party snacks, they offer a comforting taste of Brazil with every bite.
