Coconut Macadamia Chicken Tenders on plate with peach red pepper jelly.

Since receiving a bag of Macadamia Nuts from Oh! Nutslast month, I’ve been having a blast using them in recipes. In the past, I haven’t often cooked with macadamia nuts. Being a southerner, pecans are always my go to nut.

But I’ve found macadamia nuts to be very versatile in the kitchen and I absolutely love their crunch and mild but buttery flavor. The macadamia nuts from Oh! Nuts are much fresher and better in quality than the ones that are available at my local grocery store.

So far I’ve used the macadamia nuts in muffins, pancakes, salads, and now as a coating for chicken tenders. These chicken tenders are baked, not fried, but the nutty, coconut crust will satisfy any cravings you have for fried foods.

Macadamia nuts and coconut are the perfect pair, and great for summertime since they have a tropical flair. Pair with a peachy pepper jelly sauce that is both sweet and a little spicy for a delicious summertime meal.
