Chilli Chicken Ingredients

Method

Chilli Chicken Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine boneless chicken thighs, cornflour, all-purpose flour, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces in batches, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a separate pan, heat a little oil and add the garlic, ginger, green bell pepper, onion, and green chilies. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Add the fried chicken to the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and vinegar. Toss well to combine all the ingredients and coat the chicken with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot with fried rice or noodles.
