Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Toss the chicken pieces in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil for Frying

    In a large frying pan or deep pot, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C) for frying.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pan, remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the sliced onions, and green bell pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the sautéed vegetables and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the fried chicken back into the pan along with the soy sauce. Stir to coat all ingredients and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Final Adjustments

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more soy sauce or red chili flakes according to your taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once everything is well combined and heated through, transfer the chili chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions if desired, and serve hot.
