The Coxinha is one of Brazil’s most popular “salgadinho” or savoury pastries. It is easily recognizable by its distinctive pointed shape, which gives the coxinha its name (coxinha means “little thigh” in reference to a chicken drumstick). It consists of a filling of tasty shredded chicken and herbs, wrapped in a savoury dough made with flour and chicken broth that’s breaded and fried.
