Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ (2 pound) whole chicken
1 (3/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, crushed
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup chile oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
¼ teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn oil
6 spring onions (white parts only), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and discard water.
  • Bring a large pot of fresh water to a boil; add chicken, ginger, and peppercorns. Add more water if needed to cover chicken completely. Cover and cook over high heat until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes. Drain and discard water.
  • Horizontally chop chicken into 3/4-inch pieces, cutting through the bone and skin. Vertically chop into 3/4-inch squares; transfer to a bowl.
  • Combine soy sauce, chile oil, sugar, MSG, and Sichuan peppercorn oil in a bowl to form a sauce; pour over chicken and toss well. Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very flavorful. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

This Sichuan chicken was a hit! The flavors were bold and spicy, just the way I like it. I served it over rice and it was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
