Tear-drop shaped croquettes with a creamy, shredded chicken filling, often wrapped around a nugget of catupiry cheese, then breaded and fried until golden and crisp. They&#8217;re the star of every Brazilian party, the snack that disappears first, the thing you crave when you&#8217;re homesick for Brazil\u2014even if you&#8217;ve never been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Making coxinha at home is a labor of love, but it&#8217;s deeply satisfying. The dough is a simple, velvety chicken-flavored pastry. The filling is rich and creamy. And that shape? It&#8217;s iconic. With a little practice, you&#8217;ll be shaping perfect coxinhas that rival any Brazilian bakery.

Use a thermometer for accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working in batches, carefully lower coxinhas into the hot oil. Don&#8217;t crowd the pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy all over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack (not paper towels).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Serve Immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arrange coxinhas on a platter.
