Sobrecoxa, or chicken thigh, is a popular cut of poultry widely used in Brazilian cuisine and various global dishes. Known for its juicy texture and rich flavor, it is a versatile ingredient in stews, barbecues, and roasted meals. This cut includes both muscle and fat, making it more flavorful than leaner portions like chicken breast. Packed with protein, vitamins like B6 and B12, and essential minerals such as zinc and phosphorus, sobrecoxa supports muscle growth and immune health. However, its higher fat content, especially when the skin is included, means it should be consumed in moderation by those watching their saturated fat intake. Opting to prepare sobrecoxa by grilling or baking and avoiding deep-frying can make it a healthier choice. Relished for its hearty and satisfying qualities, sobrecoxa remains a staple in diverse culinary traditions worldwide.
