Recipe: Coconut Peanut Chicken Appetizer with Orange and Honey Dipping Sauce

COCONUT PEANUT CHICKEN

3/4 cup roasted peanuts, very finely chopped - almost ground
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup flour
2 eggs
1 lb. boned and skinned chicken breast halves, cut in 1" pieces
vegetable oil
DIPPING SAUCE:
3 tbsps. honey
3 tbsps. orange marmalade
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. prepared mustard

Combine peanuts and coconut in medium sized bowl. Place flour in a second bowl and lightly beat eggs in a third bowl.

Dip chicken pieces in flour, then egg, and then roll in peanut mixture. Place on a baking sheet.

Pour enough oil into skillet to reach a depth of 1/2 in. Heat over medium heat. When hot add chicken with slotted spoon, 6 pieces at a time. Cook 4-6 minutes until cooked through and light golden, turning once. Adjust heat as needed to prevent over browning. Drain on paper towel.

To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in small bowl.
