35 coxinha recipes to make and die of love

Coxinha… You can find it in the traditional bar on the corner, in the most elegant conveniences and bakeries in the country, in the weekend bar and even in the most chic and modern restaurants!

The secret to such success? A tasty and crunchy dough involving a well-seasoned and preferably creamy filling!

Originally from São Paulo, coxinha is now found in every corner of the country. The traditional version has white wheat flour in the dough, chicken in the stuffing and is fried by immersion in hot oil.

However, due to such success (and also to the creativity characteristic of Brazilians), new versions of coxinha emerged, with new fillings, ingredients and ways of preparation.

Today, even those who don’t eat meat, for example, can enjoy versions of vegan coxinha and even those who avoid fried foods can bet without fear on roasted versions!
