- Rinse the chicken and dry with paper towels. Normally I would clean the chicken with lemon or vinegar - as this is what I am accustomed to.
- Season the clean chicken with the flour-salt mixture. It is best to apply a light coating.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the chicken until golden.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the heat, pour the excess oil into a separate skillet, and set aside.
- Return the chicken pieces to the stove in the same skillet without rinsing it - the browned base retains the chicken juices and adds flavor.
- Add the coconut milk and simmer on very low heat.
- Using the leftover oil, sauté the onion, garlic, mushrooms, chiles, or hot sauce until the onions soften and are brown.
- Add to the chicken simmering in the coconut milk—season to taste with the Noubess Garlic and Herbs Seasoning.
- Continue to simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove and serve immediately.
