Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, lime juice, onion and chile. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight to let the coconut milk mixture tenderize the chicken.
- About an hour before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit out at room temperature to take the chill off.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add enough oil to come about halfway up the sides and heat to 365 degrees F.
- In large bowl, combine the flour, coconut, salt, garlic powder, thyme, five-spice powder, cayenne, allspice and nutmeg and stir until well combined.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly shake off the excess. Coat the chicken with the seasoned flour, shake off the excess, then set it on a baking sheet.
- Add a few pieces of chicken to the pot, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry, in batches if necessary, until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside on a wire-racked lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter with the cilantro and lime wedges.
