INGREDIENTS:
Chicken and marinade:
▢8 boneless chicken thighs - chopped into bitesize chunks
▢1 tbsp dark soy sauce
▢1 tbsp light soy sauce
▢1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
▢¼ tsp white pepper
▢2 tbsp cornflour - cornstarch
For Frying:
▢240 ml (1 cup) sunflower oil
▢1 tbsp sesame oil
▢1 onion - peeled and chopped into chunks
▢25 dried red chillies - – chop 5 of them into small pieces and leave the rest whole
▢1 ½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns - ground using a pestle and mortar (the 1 ½ tsp is measured BEFORE grinding)

▢2 tsp minced ginger

▢2 tbsp light soy sauce
▢1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
▢1 tbsp chilli bean paste - *See Note
▢1 tbsp sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl with the rest of the marinade ingredients.
Stir together, cover and marinade for 30 minutes (or up to a couple of hours – place in the refrigerator if marinading for more than 30 minutes).
Heat the oil (reserving 1 tbsp for later) over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
Add the chicken, a piece at a time (you may need to work in 2 batches), and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning a couple of times, until golden.
Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Heat the reserved 1 tbsp of sunflower oil along with 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a wok over a medium-high heat.
Add the onion and dried chillies and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften slightly.
Add in the ground Sichuan peppers and fry for a further minute.
Add in the garlic, ginger and spring onions and stir fry for a further 30 seconds.
Add in the soy sauce, rice wine, chilli bean paste and sugar. Stir together and fry for another minute.
Add in the cooked chicken and toss everything together, heating for a further minute or two until the chicken is hot.
Serve with boiled rice.
✎ NOTES
Chilli Bean Paste - known as toban djan or doubanjiang – if you can’t find this, you can replace with Gochujang (a Korean Chilli paste that’s little sweeter, but still good), or at a push, hoisin sauce mixed with a good pinch of chilli flakes.

Sichuan spicy chicken, we call it la zi ji (辣子鸡), which means pepper and chicken. The authentic look you will find in Sichuan province is that the whole dish is full of pepper and Hua Jiao (花椒). Looks crazy and it might scare some of you... Personally, I think it is very tasty and addictive- The chicken is salty, slightly sweet and full of warm spicy flavors. I hope you will like it too.

**LIST OF INGREDIENTS FOR SICHUAN SPICY CHICKEN**
**FOR THE SPICY CHICKEN MARINADE**
- 1 pound [454 grams] of chicken breast
- 3 tbsp of cornstarch
- 1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine [Shaohsing Rice Cooking Wine:
- 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce [Pearl River Bridge Natural Brewed Light Soy Sauce:
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 1 tsp of garlic powder [Amazon Link:
- 1 tsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of five spice [Amazon link:
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda
**FOR STIR FRY**
- 3 cups of dried chili [Amazon Link:
- 1/4 cup of oil
- 1/4 cup of green Sichuan peppercorn [Amazon Link:
- 1/3 cup of minced garlic
- 1/3 cup of ginger strips
- A hand full of the white part of a spring onion
- Few pieces of face heaven chilies[optional]
- White sesame seeds
**STEP BY STEP**
- Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- Marinate it with Chinese cooking wine, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, sugar, five spice, a little bit of salt, some cornstarch. Mix it until the liquid is all gone. Set that aside for 30 minutes before frying it.
- Bring the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the temperature with 1 small piece of chicken. If the chicken floats to the top and there are many bubbles coming out, it means you are good to go.
- We are going to fry the chicken twice. The first time is to cook the chicken through. The second time is to get a nice color and make the surface a bit crispy.
- Separate your chicken before you put them into the hot oil. It is very important to make sure your chicken doesn’t clump up together. Slightly push them a little bit to make sure they are fully separated.
- After a minute, you can take it out. Don’t fry it too long because pieces of chicken this small cook quickly. Let it rest for few minutes.
- Before you fry it the second time, you need to be careful with the hot oil. It will splash a lot because of the water from the first time you fry the chicken.
- You only need about 40 seconds to get it really nice.
- Take it out. Set that aside and we will start the stir fry process.
- Heat up your wok on high for 10 seconds, then turn the heat to low. Add in 1/4 cup of oil along with all the aromatics (garlic, the ginger, the white part of spring onion, Sichuan peppercorn and the face heaven chili) Give it a little stir. Then add in the red dry chilies. Mix it together.
- I like to add a tsp of salt, this will help release the flavor.
- Stir this on low heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add your chicken into the wok. Mix everything together and add a splash of water from the side of the wok. A tiny amount of water will help the chicken become infused with the flavors.
- Keep stirring it for 2 or 3 minutes. Take it out. Add some sesame seeds as garnish. You are done.
