Prepare a breading area by placing three shallow bowls nearby. Place coconut flour in the first bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, coconut flakes, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.
- Pat the chicken dry and dredge it in the coconut flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure the chicken is completely coated. Finally, place the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture. Dredge, pressing firmly to coat. Place the chicken fingers on a wire rack. Spray with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
