Brazilian Chicken Croquettes

Cultural Context

Coxinha, a beloved Brazilian snack, originated in the late 19th century as a way to use leftover chicken. Traditionally shaped like a teardrop, these croquettes are often filled with spiced chicken and served at parties and celebrations. Today, they are a staple in Brazilian street food culture, enjoyed by many both in Brazil and around the world.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Turkey is leaner, while canned chicken is cost-effective.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko adds crunch, while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water is cost-free.

1

Cook and mash 2 medium potatoes.

2

Add 1 liter of milk, 2 tablespoons of margarine, and 1 chicken bouillon cube to the mashed potatoes.

3

Add salt to taste and turn on the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

4

Once boiling, gradually add 700 grams of wheat flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

5

Lower the heat and keep stirring the mixture to cook the dough until it no longer tastes like raw flour.

6

Once the dough is cooked, knead it while it's still warm until it becomes smooth and homogeneous.

7

If the dough is too hot, let it cool down before using it; if it's just warm, you can start filling the coxinhas.

8

Take about 10 grams of dough and 5 grams of shredded chicken to form a mini coxinha (15 grams total).

9

Flatten the dough in your hand, add the chicken filling, and seal the coxinha by pinching the edges together.

10

Shape the coxinha with your fingers to create a point at the top.

11

Repeat the shaping process until all the dough is used; this batch yields about 68 coxinhas.

12

To bread the coxinhas, dip them first in milk and then in breadcrumbs.

13

If not frying immediately, freeze the coxinhas by placing them on a tray and then transferring them to a bag after they are frozen solid.

14

To fry, heat a large pot with plenty of oil until hot (not cold oil).

15

Fry only 10 coxinhas at a time to maintain oil temperature and prevent them from opening during frying.

16

Let the coxinhas drain on a strainer after frying, avoiding direct contact with paper towels.

17

Wait for the oil to reheat before frying another batch of coxinhas.
