Fried Chicken Pastries Coxinha

    Cuisine:

    Hey... this is a lot like a recipe for coxinha that I have from cookbrasil.com. I've made coxinha this way before but something is always a little amiss... so I have some suggestions. Forget the green onions and parsley... they don't add anything, only distract. Up your garlic to about 6 cloves (trust me on this!), only use two bouillon cubes if you can actually find Knorr brand cubes... they're DIVINE!!!... and two of those cubes are cool, you'll get the taste you want, but if all you can find are those tiny little Maggi-esque cubes then I'd go for six (again, trust).

    Toss all of your ingredients (minus the cream cheese, flour, eggs and bread crumbs of course) into a pressure cooker, bring that up to a whistle and let it whistle its little heart out for ten minutes! Your chicken will be perfection!!! in coxinha glory form!

    I cut my chicken across the grain rather than shred it and then I mix the chicken and everything I've strained from the liquid with the cream cheese... makes life much easier.

    And I have to agree with the greased palms!

    People... don't make these for a crowd unless you're prepared to be asked (or harrassed) to making dozens and dozens and DOZENS of these for every occasion possible! I have friends who have asked me to give them Coxinha instead of birthday and Christmas presents before now!

    Y'all will LOVE them!

    Fried Chicken Pastries (Coxinha), Be warned-I haven’t made this I want to, and needed to put it into a format I could follow more easily The instructions were ‘interesting to say the least When I make it I’ll add any corrections I think are needed Prep time and cook time are a bit of a guess, as is the yield The recipe says it makes 60 bite sized or 30 medium sized coxinhas , Hey this is a lot like a recipe for coxinha that I have from cookbrasil com I’ve made coxinha this way before but something is always a little amiss so I have some suggestions Forget the green onions and parsley they don’t add anything, only distract Up your garlic to about 6 cloves (trust me on this!), only use two bouillon cubes if you can actually find Knorr brand cubes they’re DIVINE!!! and two of those cubes are cool, you’ll get the taste you want, but if all you can find are those tiny little Maggi-esque cubes then I’d go for six (again, trust) Toss all of your ingredients (minus the cream cheese, flour, eggs and bread crumbs of course) into a pressure cooker, bring that up to a whistle and let it whistle its little heart out for ten minutes!

I have friends who have asked me to give them Coxinha instead of birthday and Christmas presents before now! Y’all will LOVE them!, This is a good recipe for coxinhas, though it lacks a few things that I always put in (some tomatoes and green peppers when boiling the chicken and milk and butter in the dough) In the end though, they tasted very much like the ones that I make Some other pieces of advice, the closest thing to Brazilian catupiry would be laughing cow cheese, unless you can get catupiry and then use that for the cream cheese These are a lot of work, but a birthday party isn’t a birthday party without them
