Pat the chicken thighs dry and season on both sides with 1/4 tsp of the salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the coconut oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 4ā5 minutes, until the thighs reach 165Ā°F (74Ā°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
