I wanted to like this recipe but it has some real problems. 1 cup of cornstarch is way too much. You probably only need half of that. Also way too much sugar. I love coconut and I enjoy sweet with chicken but this was over the top. Definitely wouldn’t make again without drastic changes. Even my four year old said, “Mom, this chicken tastes really weird.”

I did not expect this to go so well! I’m an aspiring cook of sorts, and after eating this at a Chinese buffet, I decided to see if I could make it myself. This recipe is just about perfect. A couple things to note: another review said to cut back on the sugar, I did (to about 1/2 cup) and it came out fine. Not too sweet, just the right amount. Also, if texture is important to you, make sure you fry the chicken until it’s a darker golden brown on the outside (not a light golden brown like the recipe says) to ensure that it garners a nice crispy outside. Also, 350 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes should suffice for cooking if you’re pressed on time. This is best served with rice and sautéed Brussels sprouts (in onion, garlic, salt, and butter).
Anyway, I really loved this recipe. It’s a good recipe with which to impress your friends and family. I would definitely recommend it to others. 5/5

I made this tonight for supper and it was really good and great and it’s a little rich but it was good tasty. I’ve never had coconut chicken before I had coconut shrimp that was great too.

nailed it on the head, real close to the buffet that use to serve this. me and my girl would hit this small asian buffet for a good few years since it was the only one that had coconut chicken and my girls favorite peanut butter chicken. after it closed we’ve tried several times over to make our own at home and this recipe definitely takes care of one of them. thanks much for posting this! on a side note, one thing ill never understand, how can people say that something they make is too sweet and no good, when they are the ones adding everything?
