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!

Steps

20 mins

1

In a large shallow bowl add your beaten eggs.
2

In another large shallow bowl add your flour, salt, pepper and onion powder. Mix well.
3

In a third shallow bowl add your coconut, corn meal and panko. Mix well.
4

In a large deep skillet add your vegetable oil. Heat it over medium heat. Temperature should reach 350°F fahrenheit.
5

Dredge chicken through the flour mixture. Shake off excess.
6

Dip chicken, both sides through egg mixture. Allow excess egg mixture to drip off.
7

Finally dredge chicken through coconut mixture.
8

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

Your looking for a medium golden brown and cooked chicken reaching 165°F in temperature.
11

Drain chicken on a plate with paper toweling.
12

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