Coconut Chicken Wings with Malibu Rum Sauce

Coconut Chicken Wings with Malibu Rum Sauce were an even better recipe than I imagined!

I made some Coconut Shrimp with Malibu Rum Sauce last night and thought, hey…this would be super delicious on chicken wings!

So guess what?!

I did it!

How to Make Coconut Chicken Wings with Malibu Rum Sauce

I started with two pounds of split chicken wings.

It’s a huge time save and so much easier if the wings are already split.

The chicken wings get breaded in flour, egg, and then a mixture of panko and sweetened coconut flakes.

Set up your breading station like this and it makes the process go a lot faster and easier.

Place chicken wings on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet.

It’s perfectly fine if you don’t have a wire rack.

It does help the air to circulate around the wings, but not necessary.

You could just place them on a lined baking sheet, no problem at all.

Then they go into a 375 degree oven for 40-45 minutes.

I did notice the bottom side was not as crisp so I flipped them and put them under the broiler for about 2 minutes to crisp up that side.

The Malibu Rum Sauce is super easy to make.

Just whisk together orange marmalade, Malibu Rum, soy sauce, and Sriracha in a saucepan.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.

It will thicken as it cools.

I chose to serve these with the sauce on the side so it didn’t lose the crispiness of the coconut breading.

So freaking delicious you won’t want to stop devouring Coconut Chicken Wings with Malibu Rum Sauce 🙂
