    Coconut Popcorn Chicken (Oven & Air Fryer) with Thai Chili Sauce

    Toasted shreds of coconut decorate the surface of this tasty Popcorn Chicken recipe. Best enjoyed fresh from the oven, these tasty morsels are great anytime anywhere. I would suggest enjoying your first bite naked so you can appreciate how darn good these really are. As good as these are naked, do not sip this must try dip. The dip is so savory and is perfectly matched for the sweetness of the coconut flavored tender chunks of chicken. Once I tried the dip I could not have a bite without it. Enjoy these with salad, white rice or as a protein inspired snack. My family really enjoys recipes that bring coconut and chicken together. Add the dip and this popcorn chicken was an instant hit and was gone in no time.
