1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
2
Set Up Dredging Station
In three separate bowls, set up your dredging station: one with all-purpose flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with unsweetened shredded coconut mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3
Dredge the Chicken
Take each piece of chicken and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the coconut mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres well.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat until hot. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of chicken; if it sizzles, it's ready.
5
Fry the Chicken Bites
Carefully add the coated chicken bites to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6
Serve
Once all the chicken bites are fried, serve them warm with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy your delicious coconut chicken bites!
