Brazilian chicken coxinhas
A Brazilian snack of shredded chicken wrapped in a broth-and-flour dough, breaded, and fried until golden. Makes 16 pieces for 4 people.
These chicken coxinhas follow a Brazilian version made with flour dough cooked in broth, a shredded-chicken filling, and a teardrop or little-drumstick shape. Other fillings and doughs exist, but this recipe keeps chicken and flour dough as its base.
Method
- 01
Cook the chicken
Cook the chicken breast in water with a pinch of salt for about 30 minutes, or until it is easy to pierce with a fork. Remove it, reserve 300 ml of the cooking broth, and let the chicken cool enough to handle; then shred it into strands.
30 min - 02
Prepare the filling
Finely chop the parsley, peppers, onion, and garlic. Heat the mild olive oil in a wide pan and sauté the vegetables. Add the crushed tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and the paprika; stir, then add the shredded chicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning with another pinch of salt if needed. Set the filling aside to cool.
- 03
Cook the dough
Put the reserved chicken broth, milk, butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Heat until it comes to a boil. Add the wheat flour and stir vigorously until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- 04
Knead and portion
Transfer the dough to a work surface and let it cool enough to handle. Knead until smooth and elastic. Divide it into small portions to make 16 pieces.
- 05
Fill and shape
Flatten one portion of dough in your palm and make a hollow. Put a teaspoon of the cooled filling in the center, fold the dough around it, and seal the edges. Shape each piece like a teardrop or little drumstick.
- 06
Bread the coxinhas
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each coxinha in the beaten egg, then coat it in breadcrumbs, covering the entire surface.
- 07
Fry
Heat the sunflower oil in a deep pan or pot. Fry the coxinhas in batches until golden on the outside. Remove them and let the excess oil drain off.
