- In a ziploc bag, finely crush cornflakes together with all the seasoning powders.
- Set up a station with a bowl or plate for cornstarch & cornflake mixture, and a bowl for the coconut milk mixture.
- Coat each chicken piece first in cornstarch, then dunk in the coconut mixture, then roll in the corn flakes.

Omit salt for a slightly healthier version.
