Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks work best)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get that chicken seasoned! In a large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This is where the magic begins!
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, making sure they’re coated well with that yummy coconut mixture. Cover it up and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but for the best flavor, let it sit in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
- Once you’re ready, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s heating up, grab a large oven-safe skillet.
- Drizzle some olive oil into the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces skin-side down. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes until they get that golden color.
- Now, flip the chicken over and pour the remaining coconut marinade over the top. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the skillet with a lid or some aluminum foil, and pop it into the preheated oven. Let it bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Once it’s done, take it out and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it up with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top, and don’t forget to pour that luscious coconut sauce over the chicken!
