Curry Chicken in Coconut Milk

Fragrant chicken in coconut milk — it doesn't get much tastier. The other day I picked up a can of coconut milk to keep a friend company at the store, and decided to cook chicken in it. Any cut works here: drumsticks, breasts, or whole leg quarters. I went with thighs — I really wanted a juicy, evenly golden skin.
