Directions

For the mint dipping sauce: Place the mint leaves, sugar, salt, coconut milk, lime zest, and lime juice in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place in refrigerator.

For the coconut shake and bake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Put the chicken in a bowl, drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to coat. Season the chicken with garlic powder and cayenne pepper, if using. Toss to coat evenly.

Put the shredded coconut and panko bread crumbs in a resealable bag. In batches, add the chicken pieces to the bag. Close the bag and shake to distribute the coconut and panko bread crumbs evenly. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and place on the prepared baking tray. Repeat the coating process in batches with the remaining chicken.

Bake the chicken in the oven until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 45 minutes.

Serve with the Mint Dipping Sauce.

    This recipe has a great combination of flavors - the coconut with the mint sauce, yum - and was also quite easy to make. The crispy crust was wonderful! I substituted light coconut milk, but won't do it next time as the sauce was too runny as a result. I also saved some time and hand washing by tossing the chicken with the oil and spices all at once. I also added the salt & pepper here, as the recipe didn't say where to add it. Rather than using a plastic bag and adding it to the landfill, I put the breading mixture in a shallow baking dish and patted the mixture on each piece with my hands, it worked great. Highly recommend, thanks Roger!
