Hello dear DC community!
Today I'm going to share with you how to make chicken drumsticks, which is a recipe that everyone loves! In Brazil it´s called Coxinha de Frango.
This is without a doubt the most traditional savory dish in Brazil.
This recipe is different from the traditional one, but by the way very tasty, because the filling is creamy and the chicken is cooked with spices.
If you prefer to watch in video format, in a more detailed way, then check the video below. Sorry the language is in Portuguese since i am Brazilian, but you can use english subtitles.
Enjoy!

- Then add the tomato, pepper, tomato pulp, black pepper and salt, mixing well.
- Let the stuffing dry well to be loose and let it cool.
- For the pasta: in a large pan, place the water from the cooking of the chicken, the milk, the chicken tablets, the mashed potato, stir well and bring to a boil.
- After it boils, add the wheat flour all at once, stirring until it releases from the bottom of the pan, letting the flour cook fully.
- Place the dough on a smooth surface and knead well, cover the dough with plastic wrap or a dish towel so the dough doesn't dry out.
- To assemble: Make a ball the size you want, open it with your thumb, place a little curd in the center and finally a little of the chicken stuffing. Close the drumsticks.
- For breading: mix the wheat flour with the water, mixing well to dissolve, pass the drumsticks through this mixture and then into the breadcrumbs.
- Take the drumsticks to fry in hot oil. Drain on paper towels, then serve hot or cold.
Enjoy!
