About Coxa de frango empanada

Coxa De Frango Empanada, or breaded chicken drumstick, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine known for its crispy, golden coating and savory flavor. Made by marinating chicken drumsticks in a blend of spices, they are then coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs before being fried to perfection. While high in protein from the chicken, the dish is typically rich in calories and fats due to the frying process. It’s a delicious indulgence often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, pairing well with fresh salads or light sides to balance its richness. For a healthier twist, it can be baked or air-fried instead of deep-fried, reducing the fat content while retaining its signature crunch. Coxa De Frango Empanada embodies the bold and comforting flavors of Brazilian street food culture.
