Crispy Coconut Chicken Recipe Directions

    Preheat oven to 375 F. Place an oven rack over a rimmed baking sheet.

    Place flour in a shallow bowl.

    In another shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Place coconut, crushed Kellogg's Smart Start cereal, and cayenne pepper in another shallow bowl and mix well.
