\"chixmango\"<\/a>Vegetable oil for frying
\n2 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless), sliced length-wise into 4 strips, then those strips sliced length-wise in half, making a total of 8 strips per breast
\nPinch curry powder
\nSalt
\nPepper
\nPinch cayenne pepper
\n\u00c2\u00bd cup flour
\n2 eggs
\n2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
\n1 tablespoon chives, finely minced<\/p>\n

Creamy, Honey-Mango Dipping Sauce (recipe below)<\/p>\n

Begin by filling a medium-sized pot about half-way with the vegetable oil (roughly 6-8 cups), and bring the temperature of the oil slowly up to 350\u00c2\u00b0 while you prepare the strips. Place the chicken strips into a bowl, and add the pinch of curry powder, a couple of pinches of salt and pepper, and a pinch or two of cayenne pepper, to the strips; toss the strips to coat them in the seasoning, and set them aside for a moment. Set up your \u00e2\u20ac\u0153coating\u00e2\u20ac\u009d station by putting the flour, along with another couple of pinches of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper, into a medium-sized bowl and blending to combine; put the eggs into another medium-sized bowl and beat them, and put the sweetened shredded coconut into another medium-sized bowl; to coat the chicken strips, dredge one strip at a time into the seasoned flour and coat it well; next, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then into the shredded coconut; press the strips into the coconut very well to coat them thoroughly, and place the coated strips onto a plate to hold until all strips have been coated. To fry the strips, work in batches by adding about 4-5 strips into the hot oil, and allow them to fry for about 1 \u00c2\u00bd \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2 minutes, moving them very gently with tongs every now and then, until they are a deep, golden color; remove from oil and place onto a paper towel-lined platter to drain, and sprinkle each batch with a pinch of salt and pepper while they’re still hot; repeat the process until all strips have been fried. Serve the strips hot, garnished with a sprinkle of the minced chives and a side of the Creamy, Honey-Mango Dipping Sauce.<\/p>\n
