Where to find ingredients
Find the ingredients at supermarkets, fresh produce markets, and the bakery aisle for breadcrumbs and margarine. For the chicken stock cube and shredded chicken, check the poultry counter and stock-cube section; if needed, use a chicken stock cube as a substitute for the galinha stock cube.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken stock cube in the water and bring to the boil.
- Add the margarine and wheat flour, stirring vigorously without stopping until the mixture comes away from the bottom of the pan and forms a smooth dough.
- Transfer the dough to a mixer, add the two eggs and the salt, and beat until well combined.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and finish by kneading it lightly with your hands on a smooth surface.
- While still warm, divide the dough into 40 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion in the palm of your hand, place the seasoned shredded chicken in the centre, and close it, shaping it into the traditional coxinha form.
- Coat each piece in the beaten eggs and then dredge in the breadcrumbs.
- Fry in hot oil until golden and crisp.
