咖哩椰奶雞/Curry Coconut Chicken

This Curry Coconut Chicken is super delicious!  Although it takes about an hour and half to get ready you will be rewarded when you taste it.  Most of time you just let it simmer so its good for the busy multi-tasking mother.  This chicken has a tropical taste combining with the curry and coconut flavor.  I also used a little bit of Chili broad bean paste and satay sauce giving it a unique Szechuan flair.  I only used a little bit of cooking oil and cooked the chicken with the skin on so it produces natural oil and doesn't taste very heavy.  Make sure to use a nonstick wok or pan to cook because the chicken may stick during simmering.  If you ever host a party you can definitely use this Curry Coconut Chicken as a hot dish and serve it along with goes some rice or naan.
