Coxinha

Cultural Context

Coxinha, a beloved Brazilian snack, originated in the late 19th century as a way to use leftover chicken. Traditionally shaped like a chicken drumstick, these savory pastries are a staple at parties and street fairs. Today, coxinhas are enjoyed throughout Brazil and have inspired variations worldwide, often filled with different meats or vegetarian options.
