      1. Thank you! I see it now on my desktop, but for some reason it wasn’t showing on my tablet. It just said ” cups coconut, shredded.” Weird.

    1. For reheating the Crispy Coconut Crusted Chicken, you can bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven.

  1. My kids love these. I add them to menus here and there to make and keep in the freezer for a super easy dinner-we just pull out the number of tenders we need and serve with something easy like salad and a potato or sweet potato. Really great “convenience” recipe!
