Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 pcs eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Oil for frying
- Dipping sauce of choice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of shredded coconut, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a third.
Cooking
- Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the coconut-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Fry the chicken strips in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Fry in small batches to avoid steaming. Make sure the oil is hot enough for a nice crunch.
