Ok , here's the lowdown on the coconut chicken tenders that I made for supper tonight. Everything went according to the recipe and they came out golden brown just like the recipe called for.

With that said, the only thing I would advise is to change the oil after the second batch. The reason being is with the biscuit and coconut the oil gets very thick and doesn't fry as well making the third batch a lot darker than golden brown.

Let me tell you 2 pounds of chicken strips makes a lot of tenders I could only eat about half of it, the rest I let cool and refrigerated in a sealed container.

All in all very yummy. :yes:
