Tips

For the chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. Thighs are more flavorful, but breasts are leaner.
Cut the chicken into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
To make the sauce, use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to taste, depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.
Add some vegetables to the stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
Don't overcook the chicken or vegetables. They should be cooked through but still tender.

Conclusion

Sichuan chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is flavorful, spicy, and can be easily customized to your taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Sichuan chicken recipe a try.
