Step 2 – Tenders
Add the flour and spices to a mixing bowl and combine. Place to one side.
Place the chicken thighs on a chopping board and cover with clear wrap or waxed paper. Using a meat mallet or heavy object, hammer the thighs flat. Cover each side of the thigh in the coconut mix.
Heat a large fry pan on medium heat. Once warm, add ghee and allow it to melt. Add coconut covered chicken thighs and fry for 5 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
Top the chicken with the salsa and serve with a lemon wedge and side salad.
