Notes

For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the coconut curry mixture overnight in the refrigerator before cooking. You can adjust the level of spiciness by adding chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce. Ensure the chicken is fully submerged in the curry mixture to allow even cooking. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking to let it thicken.
