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....

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my coconut chicken bites turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These coconut chicken bites were delicious! The pina colada sauce was the perfect complement to the crispy chicken. I will definitely be making this recipe again!

The chicken bites were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used a milder chili pepper.

The chicken bites were a bit bland. I think I would have preferred them if I had used a different marinade.

These coconut chicken bites were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

The chicken bites were delicious, but the pina colada sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try making it with less sugar.
