Oven-Fried Coconut Chicken

Start to Finish: 55 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup fine dry seasoned bread crumbs
2-1/2 to 3 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, and drumsticks)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Directions:
In a shallow bowl stir together coconut and bread crumbs; set aside. Brush chicken pieces with melted butter. Roll chicken pieces in coconut mixture to coat all sides. In a 15x10x1 or 13x9x2-inch baking pan arrange chicken, skin side up, so pieces don't touch. Drizzle any remaining butter over chicken. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks). Do not turn.

Servings: 6

Notes: This was good. The chicken was sweet, but not overpowering. I wasn't sure how I would like coconut on chicken, but it was tasty.

Estimated Price: $11.00
