  1. 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!

    1. 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!

      1. 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.

  2. 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.

    1. 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.
