Instructions

6 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

2
In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, shredded coconut, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
3
Dip each piece of chicken first into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour-coconut mixture to coat. Arrange the coated bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken bites to help them crisp and brown.
5
Bake for about 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the coconut coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
6
Serve warm with an apricot or plum dipping sauce.
