Heat the coconut oil in a large deep 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 underside is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this stage.
