Bio: Chilli chicken is a party food, finger food, comfort food and I’m not sure how many more categories it falls into. Whatever be the   category, for me it is the food I crave for quite frequently – when I’m happy and celebrating, when I’m sad and moping and also when I’m feeling dull and want to spice up my mood. So here’s my Chilli chicken recipe, albeit with inputs from my mom. Try it out and do write back with your feedback!





Ingredients for Chilli Chicken Recipe

  • 500gm boneless chicken pieces, cut into small cubes (always use boneless chicken for dishes like these. They just never taste the same if you try to scrape off the flesh from bony chicken, leaving the bones out)
  • 1 onion, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 of a green capsicum / bell pepper, cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1/4 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp green chilli sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2-3 green chillies, sliced (if you are not a sucker for all things hot, try using the large green chillies. They are less spicy than the small ones)
  • 1 tsp dry red chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour or maida
  • 1 egg (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • A pinch of sugar (optional)
  • Oil
  • For garnish: Spring onions, chopped coriander leaves
Method
  • Marination is the absolutely essential part of this chilli chicken recipe. Marinate the chicken in 1/2 tbsp soya sauce, egg, salt, pepper, flour, cornflour, half the garlic and half the green chilli sauce for atleast 30 mins. If you have the luxury of time at hand, please go ahead and marinate it for an hour or even two
  • In a pan, add 1/4 cup oil and lightly fry the chicken pieces until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
  • In the remaining oil, add chopped garlic and the chillies and flakes and fry for 2 minutes. Next, add the onions and capsicum and fry until soft (2-3 mins). Add vinegar and mix well. Top off with the fried chicken and the remaining quantities of ingredients used to marinate (1/2 tbsp soya sauce, 1/2 tbsp green chilli sauce, salt, sugar, and pepper).
  • Stir all the ingredients until well combined and fry again for another 3-4 mins. Garnish with some chopped spring onions and serve chilli chicken hot!
