- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Season the egg white. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the coconut. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 mins, turning once until the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, tip the cucumber slices into a colander, sprinkle with a little salt and leave for 5 mins to drain. Pat the cucumber slices dry with kitchen paper. In a bowl, mix the onion with the sugar and vinegar, then add the cucumber and serve with the chicken.
TIP
Mixing the red onion slices with the vinegar and setting aside for a minute softens the onion's flavour and texture.
MAKE IT WITH FISH - Coconut-crusted salmon
You can replace the chicken with salmon fillets or any firm white fish. Brush the surface of 2 salmon fillets with the seasoned egg white, then scatter over the coconut. Grill for 8 mins until the salmon is cooked through and the coconut is golden.
