About Coxinha de frango

Coxinha de Frango is a popular Brazilian snack shaped like a teardrop, filled with shredded chicken and traditionally encased in a dough made from flour and chicken broth. The outer layer is breaded and deep-fried to create its signature golden, crispy texture. Originally inspired by European croquettes, Coxinha has become a beloved staple in Brazilian cuisine, often enjoyed at parties or as street food. While it provides a good protein source from the chicken filling, its deep-fried preparation contributes to a higher calorie and fat content. Variations may incorporate healthier options, such as baking instead of frying, or adding vegetables to the filling. Typically served with a dipping sauce, Coxinha delivers big on flavor but is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
