CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN WITH SPICY HONEY ORANGE SAUCE RECIPE



Crispy Coconut Chicken with Spicy Honey Orange Sauce Recipe image

Provided by charlotteh371

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 and 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or tenders
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut1
3/4 cup Panko2
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose) (measured correctly)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large Eggland's Best eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil3
optional or garnish: chopped cilantro or parsley
Spicy Honey Orange Sauce
1/2 cup orange preserves/marmalade
1/4 cup honey
3 Tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips. If using boneless, skinless chicken tenders (chicken tenders are the lean strips of meat found attached to the underside of chicken breasts - they can also be purchased separately.) - cut in half lengthwise. 2.Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. 3.Pulse the shredded coconut in a food processor or blender to break it down into smaller pieces. Alternatively, you can chop it up. Mix it with the Panko in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a second medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and pepper together. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs together. 4.Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 5.Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the coconut mixture, shaking off any excess. Add more Panko to the dish if you are running low. 6.Fry 4-6 chicken strips at a time in the coconut oil-- only about 2 minutes per side until the crust is golden brown. Once each is done, place strips onto prepared baking pan. 7.Bake for 6-10 minutes or until chicken is completely baked through. 8.Make the sauce: Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together except for the salt. Taste. Add salt as needed. 9.Serve chicken warm with the dipping sauce. Add an optional garnish like a little chopped cilantro or parsley. Store any leftover chicken in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. 10.Make ahead tip: Baked coconut chicken freezes well up to 2-3 months. Bake frozen chicken in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 20 minutes or until warmed through. Additional Notes: 1.I prefer sweetened coconut for a slightly sweet crust. You can use unsweetened coconut if you'd prefer it, though we didn't like the unsweetened crust as much compared to sweetened coconut. I also find that the sweetened coconut browns easier and was a little crispier. 2.Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb traditionally used as a coating for fried or baked foods. It's available in major grocery stores near the stuffing. Panko is heavily preferred opposed to regular bread crumbs because they tend to stay crispier longer. You may buy seasoned or unseasoned and then add more/less seasonings to your breading if preferred. I use unseasoned. 3.Instead of flash frying in coconut oil in steps 4 and 6, you can simply bake the coconut chicken for around 20 minutes (flipping halfway through) and skip those two steps. However, we much preferred the taste of the chicken after being pan fried in coconut oil for that brief amount of time. It adds another layer of coconut flavor as well as ensures a crispy golden brown crust.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Honey: The type of honey you use can make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. For this recipe, a light-colored honey with a mild flavor, such as clover honey, is a good choice.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Orange Sauce Ahead of Time: The orange sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: When you're ready to serve the dish, garnish it with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This honey-spiced chicken with orange sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the orange sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve it over rice or noodles, or with a side of roasted vegetables.
