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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the onions in a bowl with the vinegar and soak 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place skin-side up in a large ovensafe skillet and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.

- Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates. Carefully pour out the excess fat from the skillet and place on the stovetop over medium-high heat (use caution; the handle will be extremely hot). Add the chipotle chiles, remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar and season with salt.

CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN WITH MANGO SALSA
Totally Tropical! I served this for our church at a Girls Night - Tropical Breeze event, which we held at a friend's house. We had the hot tub going and served this plus many other great dishes. Not your typical church lady luncheon! If you want, you can easily make this into a great appetizer. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces before breading and serve with a bowl of salsa on the side. This works well with chicken thighs too, and those pieces are cheaper.

Steps:
- Toss first 7 ingredients together in a bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Place the coconut, bread crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Place the eggs in a separate bowl. To bread the chicken, dip the breasts in the egg, then coat well in the coconut mixture.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 chicken breasts (don't crowd the pan). Fry chicken for a few minutes on one side, then turn and fry another 4-5 minutes until the meat is no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan and pat with paper towels.
- Top each breast with mango salsa.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut adds a delicious flavor and texture to the chicken. If you don't have fresh coconut on hand, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut before coating the chicken adds a nutty flavor and makes the coating more crispy.
- Use a good quality oil: A good quality oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil, will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Serve with mango salsa: Mango salsa is a great way to add a fresh and tangy flavor to the chicken. You can also serve the chicken with other dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce or honey mustard sauce.
Conclusion:
Crispy coconut chicken with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the mango salsa is a refreshing and tangy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
