FAQS
Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken?
Yes, you can substitute shredded chicken with other meats like turkey or even a vegetarian option such as mushrooms or jackfruit for a different flavor.
What can I serve with coxinha?
Coxinha is often served with ketchup, but you can also pair it with hot sauce, mayonnaise, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
How do I store leftover coxinha?
You can store leftover coxinha in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven for a few minutes to retain their crispiness.
Can I make coxinha in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and shape the coxinha in advance. Freeze them before frying, and when you're ready to eat, fry them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What is the best oil for deep frying coxinha?
Vegetable oil or canola oil are great options for deep frying coxinha due to their high smoke points and neutral flavors.
