About Coxinha
Coxinha is a popular Brazilian snack with roots in Portuguese culinary traditions. Shaped like a teardrop or drumstick, it features tender shredded chicken seasoned with onions, garlic, and spices, wrapped in soft dough, and coated in breadcrumbs before being fried to golden perfection. While undeniably delicious, its fried preparation and carb-heavy dough make coxinha a calorie-dense treat. The filling, however, offers protein from the chicken and can include additional nutrients if vegetables are incorporated. For those seeking a healthier version, baked alternatives or use of whole-grain breadcrumbs can reduce fat content while preserving its iconic flavor. Coxinha remains a beloved street food symbol, offering a fascinating fusion of taste and texture that's best enjoyed in moderation.
