About Coxa de frango
Coxa de Frango, or chicken thigh, is a popular dish in Brazilian cuisine, often featured in home cooking and churrasco-style barbecues. Typically seasoned with a blend of garlic, herbs, and spices, it is roasted, grilled, or fried to achieve rich flavors and tender juiciness. Chicken thighs are a source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle development and overall health. They also provide important nutrients like vitamin B6, zinc, and phosphorus. However, compared to leaner cuts of chicken, thighs contain higher levels of fat, particularly if the skin is included, which adds to the calorie count. Choosing skinless and trimming excess fat can make it a heart-healthier option. Coxa de Frango is a versatile dish that pairs well with rice, salad, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal that celebrates traditional Brazilian flavors while offering nutritional benefits.
