• Once pastry is cool enough to handle, transfer to an oiled work surface and knead until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Take a portion of pastry and roll into a golf ball-sized ball. Stick an oiled finger into the center of the ball and press the edges to create a small bowl. Stuff with 2 teaspoons of chicken filling and gather the top edges to seal, rolling into a teardrop shape. Set croquette aside and cover with a damp towel. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

Steps:

• CHICKEN BROTH: In a large pot, put the chicken breast, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, tomato, onion and coriander. Bring it to boil in a medium heat for about 30 min. Separate the chicken breast and the broth. Cool it and shred the chicken breast and reserve Drain the broth and reserve. FILLING: In a medium pot, add oil and garlic and fry the garlic until is golden brown. Add the onion and fry until is transparent. Add the tomato and cook for about 2 minutes. Add paprika and tomato paste and mix well. Add the shredded chicken breast, the chicken broth and cook it until the sauce is thicken. Mix the corn starch with a little water and add to the sauce to thicken it. DOUGH: In a medium pot, add water, butter and knorr cube, bring it to a boil. Add the smashed potatoes and mix constantly. When it is started to boil, add at once the flour and mix it until it form a big ball. Transfer to a bowl and leave it to cool. Tips: Do not leave it until it is completely cold. It is easy to make the Coxinha with a warm dough. Use a tablespoon to scoop portions.

Steps:

• Heat cooking oil on a pan and when hot enough, add and brown the chicken at both sides.
• Add 1-2 cups of water enough to boil chicken for 20 mins or until tender. Don't forget to cover it. Drain and set aside liquid.
• When chicken is cool enough, separate the meat from the bones. Cut the breast into12 long strips and set aside.
• Mince the rest of the meat and combine with onion, cloves, salt and pepper. You can use a food processor to make the mincing and mixing quick just by pulsing it. Set aside. You can also set aside the thin bones to serve as a sticks for the chicken later on.
• For the dough: mix rice flour with milk, add enough chicken juices that was set aside to make a firm dough. Then, add butter and egg yolks to soften it. Add and mix the minced chicken. Add chili sauce and mix.
• Divide dough in 12 equal parts. Flatten it a bit with palm, add a piece of chicken breast from near the edge. Roll to cover then shape it like a bulb or teardrop with a tapered end. You can push in the thin bones at the thin part of the shaped dough so they looks like chicken drumsticks.
• Roll in breadcrumbs and fry in hot oil until golden brown putting it on strainer or napkins to help drain excess oil.
• Serve with chili salsa.

Steps:

• Toss chicken, vegetables, apple, raisins and olives in serving bowl.
• Add mayonnaise, combine, then gently salt and pepper to taste, remembering that your next step is to fold in the shoestring potatoes and you don't want it to be too salty--if you are serving later, I recommend that you add the shoestring potatoes right before you serve.
• Garnish with green olives and a few shoestring potatoes scattered on top.
• Prep time listed below assumes your ingredients are cooked, cooled and ready to mix--servings yielded depends on how hungry you are; 8 is a good guess.
