Does anyone know the recipe for coconut chicken you eat at chinese restaurants?

My mom is trying to make coconut chicken. She is trying to make the same kind that you eat at chinese restaurants. If anyone has the recipe for that, please let me know. All we know is that it takes coconut milk, corn starch for the thickness, and we tried that but it still doesn't taste the same.Does anyone know the recipe for coconut chicken you eat at chinese restaurants?

Use coconut milk with creamy peanut butter and some red curry seasoning. This is what is in the sauce at some Thai restaurants for red curry, or mamasan, chicken.
