About Mini coxinha

Mini Coxinha is a beloved Brazilian snack, often enjoyed as an appetizer or party food. Originating from Brazil’s rich culinary tradition, Coxinhas are typically crafted from shredded chicken, cream cheese, and spices, encased in a soft dough made of flour and chicken broth, then molded into a teardrop shape. These bites are breaded and deep-fried, giving them a crispy golden exterior. While Coxinhas are a comforting treat, their deep-fried preparation and carbohydrate-rich dough make them higher in calories and fats, which should be consumed in moderation. However, the filling often provides a good source of protein from the chicken. To enhance nutritional value, healthier variants can be baked instead of fried or include vegetable-based fillings. Mini Coxinhas offer an irresistible combination of textures and flavors that highlight Brazil's vibrant food culture, perfect for indulging occasionally within a balanced diet.
