Coconut Chicken With a Tropical Mango Rum Sauce image

I made this for Ready Set Cook 2006. This Easy, Sweet, Caribbean recipe consist of chicken strips coated with coconut and fried with a warm rum mango sauce with a little kick. Scotch Bonnet Pepper are very HOT! Be careful not to get in your eyes. Best to wear gloves when handling. Serve over rice for a main meal or as appetizers.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili powder. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
