Coconut Chicken Tenders With Maui Wowee Dipping Sauce Recipes

OVEN FRIED COCONUT CHICKEN WITH MANGO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray.
• Create a 3-step breading process in 3 separate shallow bowls. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, whisked to combine, and panko, coconut, salt and pepper in the last bowl, stirred 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. Lastly, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turning it over and pressing into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the wire rack. Spray the chicken with additional cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
• To serve this as a salad, combine the iceberg, carrots, tomatoes and red cabbage together in a bowl. Whisk the apple cider vinegar into the mango dipping sauce to make a dressing. Lightly dress the salad with the mango dressing. Top with the coconut chicken and serve.

CRISPY FRIED COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl. Add tenderloins. Place in the refrigerator to soak for 1 to 2 hours.
• While chicken soaks, prepare egg coating by whisking together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Prepare dry coating by pulsing coconut in the bowl of a food processor until it resembles large bread crumbs. Add almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and chili powder. Pulse to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Remove chicken from milk mixture; discard mixture.
• Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then in the coconut coating, pressing generous amounts into the meat.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently drop coated chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden and no longer pink in the centers, working in batches, about 6 minutes per side. Place fried pieces in the oven to keep warm between batches.

BAKED CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

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.

HERBED CHICKEN TENDERS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce.
• 1 Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
• 2 Add the tomato paste, mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes more. The tomato paste should darken to a brick-red color.
• 3 Add the tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook this for 5 minutes if using tomato sauce, 10 minutes if using crushed tomatoes.
• 4 Put the sauce into a blender and purée until smooth. Hold your hand over the blender lid to keep it from popping off, and start the blender at a low setting and work up to the highest.
• The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
• The Tenders.
• 1 Soak tenders in buttermilk for 15-30 minutes. While the tenders are soaking, make the sauce (see sauce directions above).
• 2 Mix together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and salt in a shallow bowl.
• 3 Heat oven to 500°F Line a roasting pan with foil. Brush the top of the foil with vegetable oil to help prevent sticking, or use a Silpat sheet. One by one, remove the chicken tenders from the buttermilk and place in the bowl with breadcrumbs, coating them on all sides with the breadcrumbs. Place on the roasting pan.
• 4 Drizzle a little melted butter over each chicken tender. Place in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and the pieces are lightly browned.
• Serve with a bowl of the sauce for dipping.

BAKED COCONUT CHICKEN TENDERS WITH MANGO CHUTNEY DIPPING SAUCE

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.
