Coxa de Frango Assado, or roasted chicken leg, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine. This savory item features a chicken drumstick seasoned with a blend of ingredients like garlic, paprika, olive oil, and lime juice, then roasted to golden perfection. It’s a flavorful source of high-quality protein, making it ideal for muscle repair and growth. Rich in essential nutrients such as B vitamins and iron, it supports energy production and immune health. Cooking methods like roasting help minimize added fats, keeping it a healthier option compared to fried alternatives. However, keeping an eye on sodium levels in the seasoning is important for those monitoring salt intake. Pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can create a balanced and nutritious meal, blending taste and health in one delicious bite.
