Here is one of the most famous and favorite snacks in Brazil!

INGREDIENTS

For the dough:

250 g (8.8 oz) flour;
1 2/3 cup water;
25 g (0.8 oz) butter;
1 tsp chicken broth powder;
¼ onion, grated;
a pinch of salt.

For the filling:

250 g (8.8 oz) chicken, cooked and minced;
25 g (0.8 oz) butter;
¼ onion, chopped;
1 tsp paprika;
¼ cup parsley, chopped;
¼ cup broth;

For the coating:

1 cup;
10 g (0.35 oz) cornstarch;
cornmeal;
vegetable oil for frying.

METHOD

For the dough add chicken broth, butter, onion and salt into a pot of water. Boil and add your flour. Stir to combine.
Let dough cook down a little bit and knead it with your hands on an oiled surface.
Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside.
For the filling sauté chopped onions in butter over the medium heat until translucent. Add minced chicken, paprika and parsley. Season and pour in some chicken broth.
Roll out the dough into a log and cut into 15 pieces. Roll each one into a ball.
Making a deepening in a dough, fill it with chicken filling and gather the edges to close the filling completely.
Roll the ball between your palm to give it a tear shape.
Heat cornstarch and water over medium heat while whisking constantly. Let cool down a little bit and cover 2-3 coxinhas at a time, making sure to remove excess liquid.
Pass coxinhas in cornmeal and fry in preheated (180C/350F) oil for 4-5 minutes or until crispy and golden.
