Coxinhas de Frango, a beloved Brazilian snack, are savory, tear-drop shaped croquettes filled with shredded, seasoned chicken and a hint of cream cheese or tomato-based sauce. The dough is made from a blend of wheat flour and chicken broth, giving it a rich, hearty flavor. These snacks are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to golden perfection, resulting in a crispy outside and a soft, flavorful interior. A staple in Brazilian cuisine, Coxinhas are popular at parties and street food stalls alike. While high in protein from the chicken filling, they are also calorie-dense due to the frying process and refined flour content. Choosing baked or air-fried versions may provide a lighter alternative for those watching fat and calorie intake. Coxinhas de Frango are a delicious treat best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
