CHILLI CHICKEN SZECHUAN STYLE RECIPE | HOW TO MAKE CHILLI CHICKEN AT HOME

Steps:

• Marinate chicken: Place boneless chicken thighs in a glass bowl. Toss in black pepper powder, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and rice wine. Mix well, then add cornflour and mix till well incorporated. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Place a wok on high heat and add oil. Once the oil is screaming hot but just before it starts smoking, carefully tip in marinated chicken. The marinade will splatter and spit as soon as it hits the oil, so be very careful. Quickly stir fry the chicken, about 2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the wok. Reserve chicken.
• Add garlic and red chillies to the wok in quick succession and stir fry for 30 seconds to flavour the oil. Add red chilli paste and stir. Toss in the white part of the spring onion, stir fry for a minute, then slide in the reserved chicken. Stir to mix well, then pour in hot chicken stock. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring.
• Add cornflour slurry, stir, and cook till the sauce thickens and glistens on the chicken, about 1 minute. Garnish chilli chicken with the green part of the spring onion.
• Remove chilli chicken from heat and transfer to a bowl. Serve immediately with steamed rice. Serves: 4 as part of a larger meal Prep Time: 10 minutes plus 30 minutes marination time Cook Time: 14 minutes

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and discard water.
• Bring a large pot of fresh water to a boil; add chicken, ginger, and peppercorns. Add more water if needed to cover chicken completely. Cover and cook over high heat until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes. Drain and discard water.
• Horizontally chop chicken into 3/4-inch pieces, cutting through the bone and skin. Vertically chop into 3/4-inch squares; transfer to a bowl.

SICHUAN HOT CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
• Stir together Sichuan peppercorn powder, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, and paprika in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pour flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together eggs and water in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.
• Dredge chicken tenders in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip tenders in the egg mixture, and then in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on a plate and set aside.
• Heat about 1/2-inch vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until oil has a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry chicken tenders in batches, flipping as needed, until they're golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Check oil temperature in between batches so make sure it's back up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before frying the next batch.
• As soon as each batch is fried, immediately season chicken tenders with Sichuan powder mixture on both sides to suit your taste; the more, the spicier.
