Rub one-third of the paste all over the chicken pieces, ensuring it gets into the cuts and under the skin. Reserve the rest of the mixture. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour, or up to 5 hours.

In a large pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the reserved paste and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until all the moisture evaporates. Increase the heat slightly and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the paste is thick and dark.

Add the coconut milk to the pan and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
