Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, shredded coconut, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly combined.

  3. 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. 4

    Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken bites to help them crisp and brown.

  5. 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. 6

    Serve warm with an apricot or plum dipping sauce.
