CHILLI CHICKEN - CHINESE STYLE
Prep time includes marination time. A permanent item on the table when the flavor is Chinese! It freezes well, although there's never ever left to do so! Also, as a variation, I often follow the recipe till the marination and frying, while omitting the rest, and serve them as chicken fritters for snacks. Goes very well with drinks too!

CHINESE CHILLI CHICKEN
This is one of our favorite quick and easy stir fry chicken dishes with a slight kick, lots of flavor too. It's about a medium spice.You can easily adjust the heat to your taste. I use boneless thigh fillet because I find the breast is a little dry in this.

- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices helps to tenderize and flavor it.
- Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for getting the chicken crispy and flavorful.
- Stir-fry the chicken in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
