Just like coconut shrimp, this gives chicken just the right amount of sweet and savory. Crunch and juicy. Quick to make but an unforgettable meal!

Cooking Instructions

20 mins
  1. 1

    In a large shallow bowl add your beaten eggs.

  2. 2

    In another large shallow bowl add your flour, salt, pepper and onion powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    In a third shallow bowl add your coconut, corn meal and panko. Mix well.

  4. 4

    In a large deep skillet add your vegetable oil. Heat it over medium heat. Temperature should reach 350°F fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Dredge chicken through the flour mixture. Shake off excess.

  6. 6

    Dip chicken, both sides through egg mixture. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off.

  7. 7

    Finally dredge chicken through coconut mixture.

  8. 8

    Let chicken rest for several minutes after coating on a plate.

  9. 9

    Gently lay chicken into oil and cook 3-4 minutes per side. This depends on thickness of chicken. I like to pound out thicker side of chicken before coating to one equal thickness. I place chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound out the thickest end with a meat pounder or rolling pin until the piece is equal in thickness.

  10. 10

    Your looking for a medium golden brown and cooked chicken reaching 165°F in temperature.

  11. 11

    Drain chicken on a plate with paper toweling.

  12. 12

    I like to dip these in duck sauce which I buy mostly prepared.
