Required Kitchen Tools

When preparing Kona Grill Macadamia Nut Chicken, having the right tools will make the process smoother and ensure that the chicken comes out with that signature crispy crust.
  1. Shallow Bowls – For flour, egg wash, and breadcrumb-nut mixture.
  2. Large Sauté Pan or Skillet – Ideal for searing the chicken to golden perfection.
  3. Baking Sheet – To transfer the browned chicken for finishing in the oven.
  4. Sharp Chef’s Knife – To chop macadamia nuts finely without turning them into powder.
  5. Tongs – For turning the chicken while searing without losing the coating.
