CHINESE COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and preheat oven to 325ºF. While oil is heating, season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Dip chicken in egg (beaten), then cornstarch, and fry in the oil until lightly golden brown, but not cooked through.
• Remove chicken from pan and place on paper towel-lined plate briefly, cut the chicken breasts into 1-2 inch pieces, then place in a single layer in a baking dish.
• For the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, and vinegar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for about an hour, stirring the chicken every 15 minutes. Once cooked through, let stand for at least 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve immediately over rice or however is desired.

LIME, CHILLI AND COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except coconut milk and chicken breasts together in a plastic container big enough to also fit chicken into.
• Slice chicken breasts into strips - you should get about 4-6 strips from each chicken breast, depending on the size.
• Put the chicken breasts into the container with the marinade and mix well, making sure all chicken strips are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
• Seal the container and place it in the fridge for at least an hour.
• Remove from the fridge and heat a frying pan on medium-high heat on the stove.
• Take the chicken strips out of the marinade, and scrape all the marinade off. Put the chicken in the pan and cook.
• After one side of the strips are browned, turn over. Then tip the remaining marinade into the pan, around the chicken.
• Cook chicken and marinade for a few seconds, then add coconut milk. Allow to boil, then turn down and simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve with steamed rice and veggies.

COCONUT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour half the coconut milk, the garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to thoroughly combine the marinade. Place the chicken strips into the bag, squeeze several times to coat the chicken with marinade, and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the coconut milk.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with olive oil.
• Place the shredded coconut into a blender or food processor and pulse several times until the coconut is ground into crumbs. Mix it with panko crumbs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place the flour into a second bowl, and the egg into a third shallow bowl. Shake excess marinade from chicken strips, and dip them into the flour to thoroughly coat; then dip into egg, and finally into the coconut crumb mixture. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Mix the reserved coconut milk and mayonnaise in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; serve the sauce drizzled over the chicken strips or on the side for dipping.

COCONUT CHICKEN WITH CHILLI APRICOT CHUTNEY

Steps:

Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until chutney is thick.
• Meanwhile, place flour and coconut in separate shallow dishes. Lightly beat eggs in a shallow bowl.
• Preheat oven to 150°C Line a baking tray with paper towel. Coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, followed by coconut, pressing coconut on with fingertips to secure.
• Fry in batches putting them in the oven on the baking tray until you are done.
