The Coxinha (Portuguese: [koˈʃĩɲɐ], little chicken thigh) is a popular Brazilian snack, also known in Portugal. It is made from shredded chicken and spices, generally including tomato sauce, onion, parsley and scallions (with occasional catupiry cheese), enclosed in wheat flour – variants including potato or manioc are also commonly sold – batter, and deep fried. It is shaped to roughly resemble a chicken leg, and sometimes a toothpick is inserted where the bone would be.

Coxinhas were originally made with a chicken thigh, thus the origin of its traditional shape. The batter used to make the dough is often prepared with the broth of the chicken, enhancing the flavor of the dough.

Coxinha literally means "little thigh", and it is how deep fried chicken legs are informally named in Brazil (coxa frita means a deep fried chicken leg, while sobrecoxa frita stands for a deep fried upper drumstick; there, it is not uncommon for people possessing a strong preference for certain poultry cuts in detriment of others). Battered and deep fried chicken breast, for example, are generally called by a name of English influence, nugget.
