Blend the coconut flakes so they form into a powder. Or if you can find a powdered form, that's even better.
Crack an egg into a bowl and beat the egg. Pour the powdered coconut flakes into another bowl.
Take a chicken thigh and place into the egg bowl.
Remove the thigh from the egg bowl and place it in the bowl with coconut with your dry hand.
Cover this thigh with the coconut. Flip if over and pat it down.
Allow the loose coconut to come off and then place the chicken on a plate until you cook it.
Put coconut oil in a pan on the stove and melt on medium heat.
Once the oil has melted place the chicken in the pan.
Cook roughly for 4 minutes on each side of the chicken. Cook until chicken is 165 F degrees.
