How to Make Coconut Chicken Fingers With 30 Minute Mango Chutney
- **Get started on the chutney:**
- Finely mince 1-inch piece of ginger using a mini chopper.
- Add 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 small jalapeño (seeded, to taste), and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar to the chopper.
- Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Transfer to a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Stir frequently to prevent sticking and cook until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.
- **Prepare the chicken:**
- While the chutney simmers, cut 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 4-5 fingers each.
- **Make the batter:**
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup ice water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth.
- Add the chicken fingers to the batter and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- **Bread the chicken:**
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or preheat a deep fryer to 350°F).
- Dip each chicken finger in the batter, then dredge in the coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Carefully place chicken fingers in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with the mango chutney for dipping.
