Coconut chicken tenders with apricot dipping sauce

Chicken wings are a tailgating classic. But while delicious, they can wreak havoc on your body due to the high amounts of sodium and fat found in most recipes.

Totally rethink this staple by not only toning down the toll it takes on your fitness, but boosting its flavor, as well. Throw in a zingy apricot dipping sauce and coat the tenders in coconut for a delicious, heart-healthy chicken tender alternative.
