COXINHA 🍗 (pronounced co-sheen-ya) translates from Portuguese as “little thigh”, and is a breaded and fried dough-based snack filled with chicken, shaped to loosely resemble a chicken drumstick (coxa in Portuguese). They can be found anywhere, from gas stations to bakeries and hole-in-the-wall bars to fancy restaurants – and they are really, really good. It's the perfect snack to have in a bar with friends along with caipirinhas or at birthdays parties! 😍
