  • Filling: Pull the meat off the bone. Chop the onion and sauté it in a skillet. Once the onion turns golden, add the garlic, chicken, salt, and pepper. Now for the dough. Add the butter, broth, and milk to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and season with salt. Add the flour and stir thoroughly. Cook the dough for 2–3 minutes, until it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let it cool a little. Now shape the coxinha: form small pieces of dough into rounds, place filling in the center of each, and seal the edges into a teardrop shape. Beat the eggs. Dip each one in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again. Deep-fry until done. The coxinha are ready! Enjoy!
