Breaded Coconut Tenders
All natural, whole meat chicken breast tenders bring a touch of the islands to your dinner table. No chemical additives or preservatives in this chicken. Only the best, from our family to yours.
- No Hexane
Most poultry producers use hexane-processed soybeans as a cheap source of chicken feed. But hexane pollutes the air and environment. We keep chemicals out of our feed.
- No DDGS
DDGS is a protein alternative producers can get at a lower cost than corn. Antibiotics are used to control bacteria in the fermentation process. Some antibiotics remain in the DDGS. We use only corn and soybeans for protein. Period.
- 100% Air Chilled
Our air chill method eliminates the need for chilled chlorinated water that most producers use, which ends up in your chicken.
- No Hormones
This product is free from artificial growth hormones.
- No Junk
This product is made with no fillers, no preservatives and no artificial flavors—in other words, no junk.
- No Antibiotics
Bell & Evans is the first company to raise 100% of our flocks without antibiotics—from the egg throughout the chicken’s entire lifespan.

love this! always tastes amazing, no matter which way you prepare it! just wish it came in a larger portion box!
Tasted sweet but did not taste like coconut because there is no coconut flaked or shredded in the breading.
Hi Myrna. We do use real coconut in the breader, but the piece size is a bit smaller than some used in other coconut products. Thank you for the feedback. We’ll be sure to pass it along to our product development team.
We recently bought some coconut breaded chicken breast tenders from a grocery auction and it is fantastic! We sent them a message requesting more and when they realized they had 4 boxes left, they said if they had realized it was there they would have eaten it themselves! Having some for dinner tonight!
It’s hard to find chicken tenders that are organic, gluten free, and raised without antibiotics. Add to that fact that these have coconut in the breading, and these quickly became my new go-to. They’re delicious and guilt free. I love them!
Hi Julia, our Coconut Chicken Tenders, although a consumer and staff favorite, are not gluten free nor organic. But they are raised without antibiotics, 100% Air Chilled and 100% delicious!
Delicious! I cook these in my air fryer and they are our favorite! They come out so juicy on the inside! Wonderful flavor! Like a gourmet chicken tender!
Thank you Kathryn!
Love these so much but haven’t been able to get them for like 3 weeks at Giant in Shrewsbury or on Pauline Drive. So disappointed
We’ll reach out to Giant, Mary, to find out why they are out of stock. Thank you for letting us know!
We talked to Giant Headquarters and they are going to make sure both those stores get a case. So check your grocery store this weekend, Mary!
I love these tenders! They are a staple in my freezer and have a starring role in my meals during the pandemic. But the Bellevue, WA WholeFoods suddenly has none in their case. They just have lots of the regular breaded tenders. Please help!
I first tried the organic breaded chicken breast and they were good. Then tried the nuggets and they were good. Then I tried these coconut chicken tenders and they were the best yet! These are the bomb! You can’t get a better frozen organic product out there. Hooray Bell & Evans!
These are the BEST chicken tenders ever!! I make in the air fryer and they come out amazing.
We love the Coconut Chicken tenders but unfortunately all of the stores near us no longer seem to carry them (Market Basket, Hannaford, Shaws) Maybe you could contact them to order more
Thank You!
Hi Christine! If you contact your local Meat Manager, often they can order the Coconut Tenders and get them back in stock.
These are INCREDIBLE! I tried these tonight because I’m a big coconut fan. So far there has been not been one thing from this company that I haven’t LOVED! Even my husband liked them which is pretty unusual.
For those who haven’t tried them, they have a subtle sweetness to the breading but it’s not overkill. I literally needed NOTHING to dip these in (other than maybe Red Lobster’s pina colada sauce).
Great job to the person who had this idea. NEVER GET RID OF THESE!
Delicious….You need to make a family size box. Not enough to go around. Don’t care about the price…Make a family size PLEASE!
Delicious… These are the BEST chicken tenders ever!!
I am not a huge fan of frozen chicken tenders, but we put these in the air fryer, and they are beyond AMAZING!! The tenders are crispy on the outside, and super juicy & tender in the middle. A perfect blend of savory & sweet, but not too sweet. PLEASE don’t ever stop making this product!!! 5 stars for sure!! Thank you, Bell&Evans for your delicious products!
Wondering why you changed the recipe when you changed the name from Coconut to Tropical Coconut. There is definitely less coconut now in the newer version. This was my favorite product before but not as good now because of less coconut flavor.
Hi Kimberly, nothing has changed with the product. We just gave our boxes an updated design!
Omg yesterday was my fist time trying this brand and I was so impressed they were so delicious so I came to this site to see if they sold bigger boxes lol
So glad you like them, Marcia!
Very rarely do I purchase frozen prepared foods – but I love Bell and Evans fresh chicken so when I saw these in the store yesterday I decided to pick up a box. I bake them in the oven for 30 minutes and had a wonderful lunch today. They are delicious. The chicken is moist and tender. The coconut flavor and texture is definitely there! They tasted like I breaded and fried them myself. I will be purchasing more of these to keep on hand for those times when I just don’t feel like cooking from scratch.
THESE ARE THE BEST JUICIEST BREADED CHICKEN I HAVE EVER EATEN. JUST RETURNED FROM WHOLE FOODS WITH EIGHT (8) BOXES. AS ONE REVIEWER SAID I DON’T TASTE ANY COCONUT BUT WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE THESE FOR THERE TASTE. NOT DRY LIKE OTHER BREADED CHICKEN. PLEASE KEEP THE COST DOWN. FYI, I DIP THEM IN MANGO CHUTNEY. GRANDDAUGHTER DIPS THEM IN SWEET CHILI SAUCE
Please bring these to Costco! Forever!
These coconut tenders don’t stay in my freezer for long. On average I purchase 4 boxes a week ( wish there were a larger box option) 6-7 tenders can’t feed a larger family.
Last evening I tried the coconut chicken tenders. They were absolutely wonderful. They were so tasty and moist. I’ve eaten coconut shrimp on several occasions but hadn’t heard about coconut chicken tenders so I thought I’d try them. I will definitely repurchase them. I’m a Texas resident and happy to know many stores carry Bell & Evans products.
