4 servings

  • 0.5 cup canned coconut milk
  • 0.5 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Place coconut milk, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, and ginger in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl. Combine shredded coconut, panko, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  • Remove chicken strips from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Dip chicken strips in beaten egg, then in coconut-panko mixture, then again in egg mixture, and again in coconut-panko mixture, double dipping and double coating each strip.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Place breaded chicken strips in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; work in batches if necessary.
  • Cook for 6 minutes, flip strips, and continue cooking until lightly browned and toasted, 4 to 6 minutes more.
