4 Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towel; reserve marinade. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, warm coconut oil. Working in batches and starting skin-side down, brown chicken on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate. 5 To same pan, add tocino and cremini mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, adding a bit more coconut oil if needed. Add onions and garlic and continue cooking until onions have softened, then sprinkle with flour and stir. Deglaze with remaining 1 cup (250 ml) red wine, loosening any browned bits stuck to pan. Pour in reserved marinade, brown sugar, browned chicken and any accumulated juices and bring to a simmer. 6 Transfer to oven and cook, covered, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C) when probed with a meat thermometer at thickest point, about 30 minutes. 7 Using a slotted spoon, arrange chicken on a serving dish, then top with tocino, onions, mushrooms and sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with plenty of steamed rice to soak up juices. Serves 4 to 6 PAIRS WITH
