📋 Ingredients

For the chicken tenders:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

✅ Step 1: Prep the Breading Stations

✅ Step 2: Coat the Chicken

  1. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip into the beaten egg.
  2. Press into the coconut-panko mixture until well coated on all sides.
  3. Place coated tenders on a parchment-lined tray.

✅ Step 3: Cook the Tenders

Option 1 – Oven-Baked:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spray tenders with cooking oil.
  3. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.

Option 2 – Deep Fried:

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry chicken tenders in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Drain on paper towels.

🥥 Serving Suggestions

Serve these crispy coconut chicken tenders with a side of tropical dipping sauce, fries, or a fresh mango salad. They’re perfect for lunchboxes, game-day snacks, or casual weeknight meals.

📌 Tips for Perfect Coconut Chicken

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for the crunchiest texture.
  • Sweetened coconut gives a golden color and tropical flavor, but unsweetened works too.
  • Don’t skip the egg step — it helps the coating stick and crisp up evenly.
  • Double the batch and freeze uncooked tenders for quick meals later!
