What it is
The teardrop of Brazilian snack bars: shredded chicken in a creamy béchamel-herb filling, cradled in dough, breaded and fried to a deep gold. Ingredients: chicken breast, onion, garlic, parsley, cream cheese (catupiry-style), flour, milk, butter, breadcrumbs, eggs, oil. Recipe: 1) Poach and shred chicken; season with onion, garlic and herbs. 2) Make a thick dough from the poaching broth, milk, butter and flour. 3) Wrap filling in dough, shaping the classic drumstick teardrop. 4) Bread and deep-fry until crisp and amber. Serve: hot, with pimenta hot sauce, at boteco counters across Brazil. Flavor: creamy chicken, crunchy shell, pure comfort. History: said to be invented in 19th-century Campinas for a picky young aristocrat who loved chicken thighs — the coxinha mimics the shape he craved. See also: Brigadeiro, Moqueca.
