  • 1 1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Preparation Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Put coconut in a container large enough for dredging. In another container, combine flour, salt, thickener, and seasoning. In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites, agave nectar (or sugar free honey), and coconut amino (or soy sauce).

First coat chicken with flour mix. Then dip chicken in egg mixture. Next, dredge both sides of chicken in coconut. Place chicken thighs in an ungreased 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until instant read thermometer reads 170 degrees. If coconut starts to brown too much, loosely cover baking dish with foil.
