This coconut hen is breaded in candy coconut and sesame seeds, then oven-baked, and dipped in a spicy, tangy, creamy restaurant-style bang bang sauce. Serve together with additional limes and inexperienced onions and add a bowl of coconut or cilantro rice (or cook dinner up some baked french fries). You’ll find yourself with a recipe that everybody will love.

You all, I nearly forgot all about these hen fingers. Initially, I didn’t wish to share the recipe, so I set it apart and forgot about it for a few weeks. That wasn’t good. You see, I’d determined that I didn’t just like the pictures – however the recipe was nice. Generally I’ll try this, not share a scrumptious recipe just because I don’t love the pictures.

However then I got here again to it, adjusted just a few issues, and now I’m past excited to lastly share these scrumptious hen fingers. I even have to notice, Creighton loves these. I believe I made them 4 instances over the previous few months. This implies it’s time to share the recipe!

I’m certain we’re all accustomed to coconut shrimp, and actually, most likely coconut hen too. It’s served at numerous eating places. You’ll usually discover that it’s served with a bang bang sauce, which is normally a mixture of mayo and chili sauce. And if it’s house-made most likely just a few different substances too.

Creighton would all the time inform me that I have to recreate the whole meal at residence. He’s an enormous hen fingers man (he loves my baked hen fingers). And everyone knows how a lot he loves the sauces.

For those who’ve made any of my breaded hen recipes, you’re already very accustomed to this course of.

To start out, mix up the crumbs. For these hen fingers, I went with a mixture of cornflakes, unsweetened coconut, and sesame seeds. I wish to rapidly crush the crumbs within the meals processor with some paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

For those who don’t have a meals processor, here’s a tip. Merely add the cornflakes to a ziplock bag (or use the cornflake bag itself). Then step on the bag together with your ft to finely crush them. Or use your arms, however actually, crushing them together with your ft (I do know it sounds bizarre) works finest.

Now toss the hen with a few overwhelmed eggs and a few scorching sauce. Dredge the hen by way of the crumbs.

Subsequent, bake the hen within the oven till it crisps throughout. My secret is to softly dab/brush the hen with olive oil earlier than it bakes. This helps the coating to essentially crisp up properly within the oven.

And for the sauce, candy Thai chili sauce, mayo, lime, and seasonings. Combine every little thing up and that’s it.

Along with the bang bang sauce, I like to combine additional candy Thai chili sauce with ketchup and lime. Completely elective, however a pleasant sauce to serve too.

It’s SO GOOD with the creaminess of the bang bang sauce.

The hen is a contact crispy, and candy, however in no way too candy. The sauce is spicy, creamy, and tangy. Put every little thing collectively it turns into the yummiest hen fingers meal. A lot (actually) good taste.
