baked coconut chicken fingers
I love chicken fingers! They're easy to make, super kid-friendly, and fun too. I make them often when I'm short on ingredients and/or time, and they are always a family favorite. These coconut chicken fingers are a fun twist on my usual chicken fingers, and they are fantastic! I absolutely love the combination of sweet and savory, and the coconut adds some great texture and crispiness. I made an easy honey dijon dipping sauce to go with them, and it was a great pairing. These are definitely a new family favorite!
