Season the chicken pieces evenly with the salt and black pepper.
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.
