Coconut Flour Breaded Chicken Tips
Make sure the pan has a good amount of oil in it when cooking your chicken. The coconut flour is very absorbent and needs to have the oil to soak up to make the crust tender.
Baking these in the oven is an option also but only if you use plenty of oil to get the coconut flour coating soaked. If you use too little oil, the coating will come out dry and unappetizing.
