Crispy Paleo Coconut Chicken Recipe
Not only is this recipe paleo and gluten free, this recipe is Whole30-compliant and low carb, coated with healthy shredded coconut that gets so crunchy and delicious in the oven. And the best part? You can make it in under 30 minutes so it can be a quick and easy meal on a busy weeknight that even your kids will love!
Don’t Forget the “Honey” Mustard Sauce!
While the Paleo Coconut Chicken is delicious on its own, what make it really shine is the “Honey” Mustard Sauce. This sauce is made Whole30 by using medjool dates instead of honey but you’ll never notice the difference! It’s actually the same exact recipe as this one, and it’s one of those sauces that you’ll want to put on everything. Make it if you don’t believe me! It’s actually one of my favorite sauces to put on anything savory.
