Yum! Made these with chicken, and used barbecue sauce instead of the plum sauce. It was great, and I'll make them for parties in the future.

We tried this once and it is now one of my husbands all-time favorites. I have a hard time finding plum sauce, so I stock up when I can find it. We try to keep most of the ingredients on hand. The sauce is unique, but compliments the turkey strips very nicely.

Absolutely delicious. The toasted coconut makes the chicken so tasty and the sauce is unique, but delicious!

I made several modification based on what I had on hand. I used pork tenderloin instead and I also used mango chutney instead of plum sauce and I omitted the mustard and sesame seeds. Really good even with all my changes!
