- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric

- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth

Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear, undisturbed, for 6–7 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the second side for 3 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a plate.
