Sobrecoxa de Frango, or chicken thigh, is a flavorful cut of poultry commonly enjoyed in Brazilian cuisine and across many global recipes. Known for its rich taste and tender texture, this dark meat is prized for its juiciness and versatility, whether grilled, baked, or stewed. Packed with protein, chicken thighs support muscle development and repair, while also providing essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B-vitamins that promote energy production and immune health. However, they naturally contain more fat compared to leaner cuts like chicken breast, especially if the skin is left on, which can contribute to higher calorie and saturated fat content. Removing the skin and opting for healthy cooking methods such as roasting or steaming can enhance its nutritional profile. Sobrecoxa de Frango is a hearty, nutrient-rich option that can be part of a balanced diet when prepared with care.
