Coconut Flour Faux Fried Chickenoven Method Recipes

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.

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.

COCONUT FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, lime juice, onion and chile. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight to let the coconut milk mixture tenderize the chicken.
• About an hour before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit out at room temperature to take the chill off.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add enough oil to come about halfway up the sides and heat to 365 degrees F.
• In large bowl, combine the flour, coconut, salt, garlic powder, thyme, five-spice powder, cayenne, allspice and nutmeg and stir until well combined.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly shake off the excess. Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, then set it on a baking sheet.
• Add a few pieces of chicken to the pot, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry, in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside on a wire-racked lined baking sheet.
• Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter with the cilantro and lime wedges.

COCONUT FLOUR FAUX FRIED CHICKEN/OVEN METHOD

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F. In a large shallow baking pan, like Jelly Roll or half sheet cake pan,, add a baking rack and spray liberally with non stick cooking spray, and set aside till needed.
• 2. Combine all of the spices and cheese in a gallon size recloseable bag, and shake to combine thourgly. When well mixed place a nice amount on a plate or pan, then wash chicken, but do not pat dry. Dredge in spice mixture to cover completely.
• 3. Place each piece on prepared baking rack, and repeat till all of the pieces have been fully coated. Spray pieces lightly with non stick cooking spray. Add more coating mix to plate if needed. When you are done, if you did not contaminate the remaining mixture with the wet chicken, you can take whats left and store in freezer for the next time. I like to keep extra seasoning already prepared in freezer.
• 4. Place pan with rack in preheated 425 degree F. oven and bake for 25 minutes. Then REDUCE TEMPERATURE to 350 degrees F, and continue to cook for 50 to 55 minutes or until juices run clear. Pieces should be fully cooked and a nice golden brown color.
• 5. Please Note, by adding fiber to your diet you can help to keep your blood sugar levels better controlled. Even if you are not diabetic, fiber is good for the body, it keeps you regulated, if you allow enough in your diet on a regular basis. Just trying to incorporate more fiber in my everyday routine.
