Instructions:

Step 1: Marinate & Fry the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with cornflour, all-purpose flour, egg, ginger-garlic paste, salt, black pepper, red chili powder, and soy sauce.

  2. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to absorb flavors.

  3. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the chicken on medium-high heat until crispy and golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or pan. Add chopped garlic, ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

  2. Add onions and bell peppers, stir-frying for 2 minutes on high heat.

  3. Pour in red chili sauce, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Mix well.

  4. Add ½ cup water, bring to a boil, and then stir in the cornflour slurry to thicken the sauce.

  5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.

Step 3: Toss the Chicken

  1. Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce and toss well, ensuring they are fully coated.

  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

  • Sprinkle chopped spring onions on top.

  • Serve hot and spicy Garlic Chicken with fried rice, and noodles, or enjoy as a starter!

🔥 Pro Tips:
 ✔ For extra crunch, double-fry the chicken.
