Coxinha - deep fried chicken wing drumsticks
Explanation:
Since it is a typical Brazilian appetizer or snack, I suggest leaving the term in its original form as it is commonly found in English. The traditional recipe is made with chicken breasts, but there are some variations, such as chicken wings, legs... It's impotant to understand that no matter what part of the chicken it is used, it is always wrapped in a soft or stiff dough and not pastry as some sites show. You can check what theylook like int the last reference bellow.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Maybe just simply "deep fried breaded chicken"?

Asker: Sorry, I forgot about "Asa" so maybe take out reference to drumsticks, right? "Deep fried breaded chicken wings"... what do you think?
