Coconut Fried Chicken

 Light and Crispy!

This is a new recipe. I never ate coconut fried chicken. I wasn't sure how this would come out. I am happy to say... the coconut chicken came out well. Light and crispy. You can taste the coconut, but it's not to sweet.

I am entering a recipe challenge at http://blogstew.net/foodfrenzy. Voting begins on April 15th. On April 24th voting ends and the winner is announced. Anyone can vote.
