Ingredients

Chicken tenderloins x16
Mango x 440g tin
Fine shredded coconut x1 cup
Bread crumbs x1 1/2 cups
Egg x2
Milk x500ml
Plain flour x1 - 1 1/2 cups


Instructions

Combine breadcrumbs and coconut into a bowl. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
Place flour in a bowl and coat chicken thoroughly. Dip in egg/milk and coat with breadcrumb mix. Repeat for all pieces of chicken, then dip and crumb them all again (double crumbing). This ensures a thick and crusty coating when cooked. Whilst doing this, heat some oil in a deep pot (or purpose made deepfryer) to 170 c.
Empty can of mangoes into a food processor and puree into a thick sauce. Allow to sit at room temperature whilst cooking chicken.
Deep fry chicken pieces for 3 - 4 minutes or until a deep golden brown, taking care not to overload the fryer.
May be served as an entree, using the mango puree as a dipping sauce.
May be served as a main with the sauceunder chicken pieces for presentation with a side of frenchfries and steamed vegies.
May be served as a warm salad, with mixed salad greens,julienne carrot and capsicum, and snowpea shoots piled on a plate or in a large bowl,with the chicken arranged on top and the sauce drizzled over it all.
