The exact origin of the coxinha is debated, but it's widely believed to have emerged in São Paulo during the 19th century. One theory suggests it originated as a way to feed Prince Isabel's son, who only wanted to eat chicken thighs. When the cook ran out, she invented a way to make it look like a chicken thigh by shaping ground chicken and frying it. Catupiry cheese, a relatively modern addition, became popular in the mid-20th century, elevating the coxinha to a new level of indulgence.

Funzionalità Premium
Coxinha de Catupiry offers a delightful combination of savory chicken, creamy cheese, and crispy fried dough. The rich, savory chicken filling contrasts beautifully with the tangy and smooth Catupiry cheese.
The primary flavors are derived from the shredded chicken, typically seasoned with onions, garlic, parsley, and various spices like paprika and cumin. The Catupiry cheese contributes a creamy, slightly tangy flavor and smooth texture that complements the chicken. The breaded and fried exterior provides a satisfying crunch and a hint of savory doughiness.
Funzionalità Premium
Chicken Filling Moisture
Ensure the chicken filling is not too wet. Excess moisture can make the dough soggy and difficult to shape. Strain the filling well after cooking and shredding.
Catupiry Quality
Use high-quality Catupiry cheese for the best flavor and texture. Authentic Catupiry should be creamy and spreadable, not overly runny.
Shaping Technique
Mastering the teardrop shape of the coxinha is key. Use slightly wet hands to prevent the dough from sticking. Ensure the Catupiry filling is fully enclosed to prevent it from leaking during frying.
Frying Temperature
Maintain the correct oil temperature (around 350-375°F or 175-190°C) for even frying. Too low a temperature will result in soggy coxinhas, while too high a temperature can burn the outside before the inside is heated through.
