Recipe: Spicy Chili Chicken
Ingredients:
-
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup cornstarch
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your preferred level of spiciness)
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot or Sriracha)
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup diced onion
-
1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
-
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to create the batter.
-
Add the chicken pieces into the batter and toss until they are evenly coated.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté until fragrant and slightly softened.
-
Add the chicken to the skillet, allowing excess batter to drip off before adding to the pan. Cook the chicken until it’s crispy and golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then add the diced bell pepper and diced tomatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
-
Stir in the tomato paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Add the hot sauce and water to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.
-
Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) into the sauce, and cook for an additional minute until the sauce thickens.
-
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, and toss to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
-
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
-
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy the delicious and spicy chili chicken!
