Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the potatoes, slice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic and ginger. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add the diced potatoes and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, minced garlic, ginger, and dried red chili peppers. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked chicken back to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the dry pot chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.
