Keto Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders [with Sweet & Spicy Mango Sauce]
If you’ve ever been a fan of coconut shrimp, this recipe’s for you! The classic coconut shrimp gets a twist with chicken and a deep curry flavor that runs throughout. To match alongside it, we pair pork rinds with the chicken to bring the flavors out and allow for a crispy chicken tender. Never thought you’d have crunchy on keto? Think again.
To make the flavors of the chicken nuggets really sing, I decided that a dipping sauce was absolutely mandatory for this. A sweet and spicy mango dipping sauce was created. It’s super creamy and adds everything you want to complete this meal. It’s sweet, it’s got a great kick to it, and the mango flavor that comes through it superb. Think about curries that are made with mango chutney – but condense the cooking time and put it all into the flavor of a chicken tender. Plus its keto. This one is a must try!

Ok–hate to try to edit you recipe but, I and my kid are allergic to coconut. Is there something that I can use instead?
Just leave it out, I‘d say. 🤷♂️
@@Hurensohnologe0711 I know. Just trying to see if I got lucky someone giving an idea but, you are right.
You could leave it out and add in 1/4-1/2 cup almond flour instead
@@RuledMe Thank you very much!!
I couldn’t find any mango extract at our store. Do you think orange extract would work in its place?
It might. It would change the flavor. The only downside with orange extract is some taste super artificial.
Very nice.
Looks so good!
Any substitute for the mango extract? I live in Ecuador, but it is not available and I don’t want the expense of having it muled in.
Not really to be honest, but the dipping sauce isn’t required. You could make your own sauce with whatever you have on hand.
OMG! How did I miss this one??? I adore coconut shrimp and feel quite stupid for not having thought of this! I am definitely adding this for NEW Year’s Eve dinner/snack or New Year’s Day lunch!!
I’m so excited – you’ve changed my holiday menus up!
