Notes:

• You can also add entire coconut extraction together, when the chicken is almost done than adding one by one
• But this recipe tastes better, when you allow the chicken to slow cook in coconut extraction
• Some people has stong dislike for cocnut oil in cooking, in that case, replace with your regular cooking oil
• Goes well with rice with chicken pepper fry as another accompaniment
