CRISPY COCONUT CHICKEN WITH A APRICOT CURRY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine coconut, pepper and garlic in a bowl (Note: If your breasts are larger and you need to use 11/2 cups of coconut add more pepper and garlic powder.).
• Dust breasts in flour shake off excess, dip breast into egg and then into coconut press mixture firmly onto breast.
• Place breasts in a lightly oiled oven proof pan, drizzle melted butter over and bake in a preheated oven 180-190°C for 25-30 minutes or until chicken breasts are browned and cooked through, turn the pan once during cooking.
• Apricot Dipping Sauce.
• While the breasts are cooking combine all the sauce ingredients in a pan and heat and stir until well combined. You can leave the sauce on a low heat while the breasts finish cooking, just stir occasional. This also helps the curry flavour to come through.
• Serve with your favourite vegetables and fries or mash what ever you like.

CRISPY CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Place chicken in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet; season the outside with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Scatter carrots around chicken. Roast until chicken is cooked through, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165°F, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan with a lid, bring 2 cups water to a boil; season with salt and pepper. Add rice; return to a boil. Stir, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and scatter lime zest over rice. Cover pan, and let steam 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate. Sprinkle lime juice over carrots (still on hot baking sheet); toss, scraping up and incorporating any browned bits. Fluff rice gently with a fork; serve with chicken and carrots.

CRISPY CURRY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the curry, chili, onion and garlic powders, poultry seasoning, celery seed or ground cardamom and lime zest, and set aside.
• In a large bowl with a lid or a large, re-sealable plastic bag, add half of the spice mixture, the chicken and the yogurt, and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight, but no longer than 24 hours.
• In a large paper bag, shake up the flour and the other half of the spice mixture. Add half of the marinated chicken pieces and shake it to coat. Remove the coated pieces, add the other half of the chicken and repeat.
• Heat a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil. When bubbles rapidly roll away from a handle of a wooden spoon inserted into the oil, it's hot enough to fry the chicken. (If you have an oil thermometer, it should read 350ºF.) Avoid overcrowding the pan, so cook the chicken in 2 batches, if necessary. Cook smaller pieces for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, cook larger pieces for 12-15 minutes total. Let the finished pieces drain on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the curry, chili powder, onion and garlic powders, poultry seasoning, celery seed or ground cardamom, and lime zest, and set aside.
• Combine half of the spice mixture with the yogurt. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken with the yogurt. This can be done as much as 24 hours ahead. Keep the chicken, covered, in the refrigerator until about 30 minutes before you are ready to cook it.
• Place the flour in a large brown paper sack, add the remainder of the spice mix to it, and shake the bag. Add 4 chicken pieces and shake to coat.
• In a large pot at least five inches high, heat 2 1/2 to 3 inches of frying oil over medium to medium-high heat. Insert the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil. If rapid bubbles come out and away from the handle, the oil is ready. Fry the 4 pieces of coated chicken for 12 minutes, turning once. Coat the remaining chicken while the first batch fries up. Cool the chicken on a rack and sprinkle with a little extra salt. Allow the oil to heat back up for a minute or two, then fry the second batch. Serve with the lime wedges to squirt over the crispy curry chicken.
