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.

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.)

WOWIE MAUI CHICKEN
With a delicious tropical flavor this dish is easy to make and low fat too! This recipe is all over the internet so it is difficult to say where it originated - but this is my version. The original recipe has 3/4 cup chopped green onions that you add in the last 5 minutes of cooking. I don't use green onions for ANYTHING, so part of my modification was to leave those out. Throw them in if you are so inclined!

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.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh coconut milk. If you don't have fresh coconut milk on hand, you can use canned coconut milk instead. Just be sure to shake the can well before opening.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just be sure to toast them in a pan with a little bit of butter or oil before using them.
- To make the chicken tenders extra crispy, double-coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help them to stay crispy even after they've been baked.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken tenders. They should be cooked through, but still juicy. Overcooked chicken tenders will be dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. The Maui Wowee dipping sauce is a great option, but you can also use your favorite barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
These coconut chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. The Maui Wowee dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the chicken tenders, but you can also use your favorite dipping sauce. These chicken tenders are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
