Crispy Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Slowly add the coconut milk, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in coconut flakes to coat.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with homemade chicken red sauce.
