Baked Coconut Chicken

Pretty good, chicken was really tender from soaking in milk. Might add more coconut next time. Was also not really crispy like I was expecting, but if I don't pour the extra coconut milk in the baking dish, it might help. Made some mac and cheese and green beans to go with it.

This was creative, unusual, fun to make but in the end it wasn't my favorite. I think the basic idea of coconut and ginger is great but this was much too sweet for my family's taste. I used unsweetened coconut but the gingersnaps is where all the sugar came from. I will try this recipe again without the cookies and add a little gorund ginger to the breading mix.

We thought this was really good. After Hubby wrapped his head around the idea that it was chicken *AND* coconut together in the same recipe he thought it was really good and ate two pieces. The only change I made was salting the chicken before marinating it in the coconut milk. This is a good recipe if you are looking for a "different" way to have chicken! N*R

WE LOVED THIS RECIPE! Salt would make this recipe perfect (but lack of salt isn't enough to demote it to 4 stars). Salt helps to compliment the sweetness. Salt your chicken before marinating in the coconut milk. Add a little salt to the breadcrumb mixture. The ginger snaps add a wonderful flavor and this recipe would be lacking without them (since the ginger snaps have a nice spiced and sweet flavor). THe baking method is great, just coat the pan with coconut milk (don't drench the chicken) and it will be perfect. Don't forget the pats of butter ontop of the chicken while cooking:). We loved this N*R recipe...do try!

Both my bf and I liked this. I didn't have a clue what 1 1/2 lbs of my Costco chicken was, so I just used 4 chicken breasts. It took about 1/2 the can of coconut milk to cover them, so I used the other 1/2 in the pan when baking. It is a bit sweet--probably from the gingersnaps and the coconut milk--so I don't know that I'd use the gingersnaps again but maybe just use bread crumbs and put in ginger with them. I also think the coconut milk should go in the pan before the chicken, not after. Since we liked it, it's worth trying again with a few tweaks. Thanks for the recipe.
