Brazilian coxinha — a very tasty homemade recipe

Ingredients:

Dough:

4 cups chicken stock

4 cups sifted flour

2 medium potatoes

3/4 cup oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Filling:

Cooked chicken (shredded)

Tomato

Onion

Peas or corn — optional

Chopped parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for sautéing

Coating:

Liquid milk

Crushed crackers or breadcrumbs

Method :

Start by boiling the chicken. Skim any foam from the surface and add aromatics like parsley, onion, garlic, celery, etc. Add a little salt and two potatoes and cook until the chicken is done.
Remove the chicken from the broth, debone and shred it into very small pieces. Mash the two potatoes well.
Strain the stock and set it aside, then prepare the filling.
Finely chop the onion and sauté it in oil until soft, then add the chopped tomato and cook for a few minutes.
Add the shredded chicken, salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the parsley and remove the filling from the heat.
Prepare the dough: pour 4 cups of the reserved chicken stock over the mashed potatoes and oil in a pot and heat while stirring.
When the liquid starts to boil, add the flour and stir quickly and continuously until the flour absorbs all the liquid and a cohesive dough forms that no longer sticks to the pot.
Remove the dough from the pot and knead for about a minute by hand or with a mixer, taking care because the dough will be hot — use a thick glove if needed.
Shape the dough into balls, form them into the classic coxinha (teardrop) shape, and fill each with the chicken filling, then seal.
Dip each coxinha in milk, then in crushed crackers or breadcrumbs, and fry immediately in hot, deep oil until golden.
You can freeze shaped coxinhas in freezer bags and fry them later straight from frozen.
