Making Spicy Brazilian Coconut Chicken is a breezy process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Add Spice: Stir in the sliced red chili peppers, paprika, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.

5. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot, cooking until browned on all sides, approximately 5-6 minutes.

6. Incorporate Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a simmer.

7. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and cover, allowing the chicken to simmer for 20 minutes. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

8. Adjust Seasoning: After simmering, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices as needed.

9. Finishing Touches: Remove the pot from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

10. Serve: Serve hot, paired with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce.

Now that you have created a dish full of flavor and richness, it’s time to impress yourself and those around you!
