NOTE: Usually chicken or fish that is coated with coconut it’s done with the un-sweetened kind. But I like the heat of the hot sauce together with the sweetness of the coconut. Takes it to a whole other level. You can use the un-sweetened coconut if you prefer. I served this with homemade coleslaw and potato coins. This is delicious with shrimp too!
