Coconut Chicken Bites with Pina Colada Sauce image

This is an adaption of another recipe. I recently took it to a Pot luck, the chicken bites disappeared quickly and everyone wanted the recipe. The chicken can be left in larger pieces for a main course, just adjust the baking time to assure that your chicken is fully cooked. This is a pleasant change to the coconut shrimp....

Categories     Beverages

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups captain morgan Parrot Bay coconut rum
1 fluid ounce milk
5 fluid ounces pineapple juice
1 slice pineapple (spear)

Steps:

  • Add captain morgan parrot bay coconut rum, milk, pineapple juice in a blender.
  • Blend 10-15 seconds and pour into speciality glass.
  • Garnish with pineapple spear.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Using ripe pineapple is essential for a sweet and flavorful colada. Look for pineapples that are golden yellow, fragrant, and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use fresh coconut cream: Fresh coconut cream adds a rich, creamy texture and coconut flavor to the colada. Avoid using canned coconut milk, as it often contains thickeners and preservatives that can alter the taste and texture of the drink.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling the ingredients before blending helps create a refreshing and slushy colada. You can chill the pineapple, coconut cream, and ice cubes ahead of time.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The sweetness of the colada can be adjusted to your preference. If you like a sweeter drink, add more pineapple juice or simple syrup. If you prefer a less sweet colada, reduce the amount of pineapple juice or omit the simple syrup altogether.
  • Garnish with pineapple and maraschino cherries: A pineapple wedge and maraschino cherries add a tropical flair to the colada and make it look more festive.

Conclusion:

The coconut colada is a classic tropical cocktail that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. With its creamy, sweet, and refreshing flavor, it's no wonder that this drink is a favorite among beachgoers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. Whether you're enjoying a colada at a beach bar or making one at home, be sure to follow these tips to create the perfect colada every time.
