Coconut Crunch Chicken Strips
Coconut is one of my favorite tastes. Coconut shrimp are delicious. Whoever thought of making coconut chicken is amazing. Pinterest is making me a better person by showing me this. This Pinterest success is still on my mind because I made it yesterday for dinner.
Critique
I did not change the recipe with substitutions, like I usually do, thankfully. It is so so yummy.
There are a few ambiguous aspects of the recipe. It calls for a "pinch" of several spices to put all over the chicken in a bowl. I did not think a pinch was easy to finagle for that amount of chicken, so I just lightly sprinkled the spices and salt over the chicken pieces, spread out on a cutting board. This may have been more curry and pepper than called for, but the extra curry was a perfect complement for the coconut. This is not for the weak hearted, since it is deep fried (which I almost never do). I used canola oil, not sure if that helps any. Next time I may try carefully pan frying with coconut oil, though it can't handle high heat as well.
