How to make Chilly Chicken
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, cornflour, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the marinated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside on paper towels.
Prepare the Sauce
In the same pan, add oil. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until they soften.
Add green chilies and ginger-garlic paste, and cook for another minute.
Combine
Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, and sugar. Mix well.
Add the fried chicken to the sauce, toss to coat evenly, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve hot with fried rice or noodles.
