The flavor of flaked coconut goes great on these delicious chicken tenders. What is amazing about this recipe is that these chicken tenders are baked and not fried. These coconut chicken tenders make for a great appetizer or can be served as part of a dinner. They are first dipped in an egg and milk mixture and then rolled in a cornflake and flaked coconut mixture. The crushed corn flakes make these chicken tenders nice and crunchy right out of the oven. If you are looking for a good dip to go with the chicken tenders, honey mustard might be a good choice. Enjoy.
