Coconut Chicken |
|
Serves: 8 Print this Recipe2 tablespoons shredded coconut 4 whole chicken breasts (about 4 pounds) 1 cup canned coconut milk 1/2 cup chicken broth (see Soups: Chicken Broth) 1/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 2 teaspoons ginger root juice 2 teaspoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon white peppers Vegetable oil 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg white Heat oven to 300°. Bake coconut, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until golden brown. (Watch carefully so coconut does not burn.) Remove bones and skin from chicken breast; cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Heat coconut milk, broth, sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, the gingerroot juice, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the white pepper to boiling. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat; keep warm. Heat vegetable oil (2 inches) in wok to 350°. Mix flour, water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the egg white in medium bowl. Dip chicken, 1 piece at a time 3 minutes or until very light brown; drain on paper towels. Increase oil to 375°. Fry half of the chicken 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once; drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken. Cut each piece crosswise into 1-inch pieces, using a very sharp knife; place in a single layer on heated platter. Pour coconut sauce over chicken; garnish with toasted coconut and, if desired, maraschino cherries. 8 servings **The coconut flavor of this recipe turns everyday chicken into an exotic tropical treat. The white sauce over golden brown chicken makes a very attractive dish. Toasted coconut stores well at room temperature. Keep it in a close jar up to several months.
