Method:

1. Firstly, clean and wash the chicken in cold water. Neatly chop off the end bone, creating a perfect handle for later.
2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, parsley and onion granules.
3. Cover and leave overnight in the fridge (optional). Cook with 100ml water on medium heat for 15-20 mins. Cut six thin strips of foil and wrap them around the bone handle of the chicken.
4. When ready, in a large bowl mix the crumbs and coconut with the salt and pepper and paprika and set aside.
5. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.

To Bake:

Bake:

1. Pre-heat the oven at 180 fan.
2. Add 1 tbsp. of the Vita Coco Coconut Oil into a baking tray or cast iron pan and place in the oven to melt.
3. One at a time, pick up a chicken piece, dip in the beaten egg until well coated and then dip in bread crumbs. Dip the same chicken in egg again and then again in breadcrumbs (Double coating). Repeat this for the remaining pieces of chicken.
4. When ready bake in your tray or cast iron pan for 15 minutes. Take the chicken out of the oven at this point and gently drizzle the second tbsp. of coconut oil all over the chicken and bake for another 15 mins. This should be ready at the point.

Fry:

1. In a large wok or deep frying pan, add approx. 250-300ml Vita Coco Coconut Oil and heat.
2. Using a set of tongs, place one chicken in the hot oil and fry for 5-10 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do this one at a time with each chicken.
3. When ready place neatly on a chopping board, remove the foil and garnish with lime drizzle, chopped chilli and parsley.

Last But Not Least, Chicken with Lime And Lemongrass Sauce:

As the temperature drops, the leaves change colour and the nights draw in, take comfort from some NEW, deliciously warming autumnal dishes, from Belvoir Fruit Farms. Belvoir is adding a splash of late summer sunshine to your meals as you prepare for the nights to draw in. The poet Keats described autumn as the ‘Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ and there’s no denying that the fruitfulness and mellow spiciness in these new recipes come from the addition of Belvoir’s range of cordials.

So always have a bottle or two on hand in the kitchen pantry – it’s a versatile ingredient and can be used in a range of recipes, as well as to make fabulously refreshing drinks. Belvoir Fruit Farms drinks are made using honest, natural ingredients to make its mouth-watering range of Cordials that contain no artificial preservatives, colourings, flavourings or sweeteners, just lashings of real pressed fruit juices, flowers and spices, pure and simple. Chicken with Lime And Lemongrass Sauce. So tasty.
