Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
cooked basmati rice or naan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Season the chicken pieces evenly with the salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes until the undersides are golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate — it will not be cooked through at this point.
