Creamy Homemade Coxinha: Step-by-Step (Coxinha cremosa de frango)

Ingredients

3 eggs, beaten (for breading)
1/2 cup margarine
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

Where to find ingredients

You can find chicken, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs at local Marshallese markets or larger grocery stores in Majuro. For the best result, use fresh chicken breasts from the meat counter. If margarine is unavailable, high-quality butter is a suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in the margarine and all-purpose flour, mixing vigorously and continuously until the dough pulls away from the bottom of the pot and forms a smooth, cohesive ball.
  3. Transfer the dough to a stand mixer bowl, add the two eggs and salt, and beat until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Remove the dough from the mixer and finish by kneading it lightly on a smooth surface.
  5. Divide the dough while still warm into 40 equal portions.
  6. Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, place a spoonful of the seasoned shredded chicken in the center, and close it, shaping it into the traditional teardrop form.
  7. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs and then roll thoroughly in the breadcrumbs to coat.
  8. Deep-fry in hot oil until they reach a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
