2. Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt.
   
3. Melt the coconut oil in a pressure cooker over high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, to the pressure cooker and fry until golden and crispy. Remove the chicken thighs from the pressure cooker with a slotted spoon and set aside skin-side up.
