Bite sized chicken breasts are marinated in coconut milk and limes, then they are double coated to make these the crispiest most flavorful Coconut Lime Chicken Bites you have ever tasted. This recipe is super easy and these chicken bites are sooo addictive you are going to want to make 2! You put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up! Well... maybe eat it all up.
