AUBURN, N.Y. - Nyenta -- The Story of COXINHA

Dating back to the 19th century, the origins of the COXINHA, which translates to "little thigh" in Portuguese, are steeped in legend. Widely believed to have originated in São Paulo, specifically in the city of Limeira, the COXINHA was born out of a noble effort to satisfy a young boy's preference for chicken thighs. In times of scarcity, a creative cook crafted a snack that mimicked both the taste and appearance of a chicken thigh by shredding chicken breast, enveloping it in dough, and frying it to a golden hue.
