Ingredients

2 eggs
1 kg all-purpose flour
Salt to taste
8 1/2 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
4 cups breadcrumbs
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs

Salt to taste

Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in the baking aisle of any local Canadian supermarket. For the chicken bouillon cube, check the international or soup aisle. If you cannot find a specific Brazilian-style margarine, any high-quality unsalted butter or standard baking margarine works as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add the margarine and the all-purpose flour, stirring vigorously and continuously until the mixture pulls away from the bottom of the pot, forming a smooth, cohesive dough.
- Transfer the dough to a stand mixer, add the two eggs and salt, and beat until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and finish by kneading it lightly by hand on a clean, flat surface.
- Divide the warm dough into 40 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, place the seasoned shredded chicken in the center, and fold the dough to shape it into the traditional teardrop-like coxinha form.
- Dip each unit into the beaten eggs and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs.
- Deep-fry in hot oil until they reach a golden brown color and a crispy texture.
