About Coxa de galinha
Coxa de Galinha, or "Chicken Drumstick" in Portuguese, is a staple in Brazilian cuisine, often enjoyed as part of hearty meals or savory snacks. Typically seasoned with a mix of herbs, garlic, and spices, and either grilled, baked, or fried, its flavorful preparation makes it a popular choice. Nutritionally, chicken drumsticks are a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and provide important vitamins like B6 and niacin. They also contain minerals such as phosphorus and selenium, which support bone health and immunity. However, the method of cooking can significantly impact its health profile. Fried versions are higher in saturated fats and calories, making them less ideal for heart health. Opting for baked or grilled versions with minimal added fat offers a more balanced choice. Coxa de Galinha showcases the rich flavors of Brazil while offering flexibility for a healthier approach.
