Baked Coconut Chicken Fingers With Passion Fruit Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add a wire rack to a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
• In 3 separate shallow bowls, create a 3-step breading process. In the first bowl, add the coconut flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt to combine. In the last bowl, add the panko, coconut, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine.
• Pat the chicken dry and add it to the coconut flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat the chicken entirely. Last, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turn it over and press into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the prepared rack on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. If the chicken is light in color, place under the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
• For the dipping sauce: Stir together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Beat egg in shallow dish. Combine coconut, flour and seasonings in separate shallow dish. Dip chicken strips, 1 at a time, in egg, then in coconut mixture, turning to evenly both sides of each strip.
• Place on rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with butter.
• Bake 25 min. or until chicken is browned and done, turning after 15 min.

Steps:

• Mix together coconut, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder in flat dish.
• Dip chicken strips into egg, then coat with coconut mixture.
• Place in shallow baking pan and drizzle with melted butter.
• Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until brown and cooked through, turning once.
• Make sauce by combining apricot preserves and dijon mustard.

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Pour enough of the coconut milk over the chicken to completely cover; refrigerate 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the breadcrumbs, gingersnap cookies, and coconut in a bowl. Dip each chicken piece in the beaten egg and then cover with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange coated chicken pieces in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Scatter the butter pieces over the chicken. Pour enough coconut milk into the dish to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Roughly chop the coconut so it's about the same size as the Panko pieces. Combine it with Panko and spices in a shallow dish. Mix well to distribute all of the spices.
• Place the flour in another shallow dish, and the eggs in another. Give the eggs a quick beating.
• Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge in flour and then dip in egg, and then finally coat in the coconut Panko mixture. Press in with your fingers to make sure the entire thing is well coated.
• Place chicken tenders on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I give mine a tiny drizzle of olive oil on top to help them crisp nicely.
• Bake in your 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until juices run clear. Try not to overcook them because chicken tenders go from perfect to overcooked really fast! If your tenders are on the small side, they could even be done in about 15 minutes so keep an eye on them. If they're big they can take more like 25. The coconut will be nice and golden and the Panko crisp, but light in color still.
• To make the dipping sauce, combine the preserves, rice wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.
