Chicken delight: Crispy coconut bites with zesty pineapple dip

Golden-brown and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, these chicken strips are the hit of any party. Coconut flakes serve as a great alternative to the classic breadcrumb coating. Beside them on the plate is a delicious pineapple dip with honey and chili flakes. Prepare to be surprised by the unique taste and make chicken strips like never before.

Nuggets and strips require the right accompaniment. There are plenty of dip ideas, but a pineapple sauce works great for coconut bites. The base is, of course, pineapple and mayonnaise, and the sweet flavor is further enhanced by a portion of honey. To balance the sweetness, a spicy note is added in the form of chili flakes.

They are perfect for a warm dinner and disappear quickly from the table when served at a party. The coconut flake coating is a great alternative to breadcrumbs, panko, or cornflakes.

Ingredients:

            
• 1 chicken breast fillet
• 1 teaspoon curry
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons wheat flour
• 5 ounces coconut flakes

Pineapple Dip:

      
• 6 ounces pineapple
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

Preparation:

Step 1: Cut the chicken breast into strips. Place in a bowl, add curry, salt, and pepper, and mix so the spices evenly coat the meat.

Step 2: Now for the sauce. Blend the pineapple pieces with mayonnaise, honey, chili flakes, and lemon or lime juice. Add salt to taste, and pour the mixture into a small bowl.

Step 3: Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix them with flour. Pour the coconut flakes into a separate bowl. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat them thoroughly in the coconut flakes.

Step 4: Fry the prepared chicken bites in deep, hot oil until golden. After frying, place them on a piece of paper towel. You can also bake them in an air fryer.

Step 5: Serve the fried chicken pieces with the prepared pineapple sauce. Enjoy!
