In a large pan over medium heat, add the coconut oil and let it heat up.

Add the chicken drumsticks into the pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Add in the sliced red chili and continue to stir for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the dark soy sauce and tamari sauce, and mix well to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated.
Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover the pan, add erythritol, black pepper, and salt, and stir to combine.
Increase the heat slightly and let the sauce reduce until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
