Fast-Food Favorite Made At Home – Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers

May 19, 2021 by goodcook Leave a Comment

Mouth-Watering Crunchy Chicken At Home

Holly’s Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers from Holly Clegg’s Eating Well To Fight Arthritis is every bit as delicious as the beloved fast food versions, but made easily at home with wholesome ingredients. Bake these Crunchy Coconut Chicken Fingers in the oven and watch them become golden-brown and crispy on the outside. One bite will have you tasting crunchy, nutty, savory, and sweet all at once. A sophisticated, gourmet flair for “kids” of all ages who are still experiencing the chicken nugget-loving phase. So simple to make and a great freezer meal. Be sure to pair with your favorite dipping sauce!
