Join the discussionThis looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try it!
Perhaps a little typo? The math doesn’t compute for me, or am I missing something? 8 tenders, each cut into 3 pieces = 24 pieces. The recipe makes 4 servings, so each serving would have 6 pieces (2 tenders). Therefore each skewer would have 3 chicken pieces, not 4.Wow! Coconut, bacon, and chicken…all in ONE bite! That’s like striking gold!
Thanks, Rita. I changed it to just 4 skewers threading about 6 pieces of chicken onto each skewer. I realized as I cooked that having fewer skewers to turn in the pan was much easier!
Good idea, Heather. Skewers can be a pain to turn often, so less is better and more efficient. I’ll do it that way too! I’ve been tasting them so much in my mind that actually eating them might be anticlimactic…but I doubt it.
Can these be done on the BBQ?
Hi Don, yes, I think they’d be great done on the BBQ! If you try it let us know how they turn out!
I cooked these last night and they were super tasty! Kiddo loved them!
Could you bake these instead? I am putting together freezer meals for my son to “warm up” in the oven. I don’t see him frying these as indicated.
Yes Coreena – You most certainly could bake these instead.
Can I use turkey bacon?
Is it really 935 calories for 1serving? Seems really high.
Yes, you can use whatever type of bacon you like! Coconut and bacon are both high calorie and high fat, so that is probably correct.
