Fragrant And Hot Chicken


This is the 3rd and the last recipe using the salted chilies for my Hunan recipes series. I have tweaked this particular dish a few times. The original recipe from the cookbook wasn’t what I had envisaged. The meat turned out too dry and bland. So, here is my version of Fragrant and Hot Chicken recipe. My family enjoyed this dish very much. I think you will like it too. Do try the recipe and please send your feedback. Thanks.


Fragrant And Hot Chicken
(Printable Recipe)

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken Legs, boneless, skinless
2 tsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Shaoxing Wine
1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Ginger
1 Clove Garlic, finely chopped
1 ½ tsp Chili Bean Paste
1 Tbsp Chopped Salted Chilies
¼ Cup Water
1 tsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 Scallions, finely sliced
Peanut Oil

Method

Cut the chicken into bite-size cubes. Place the chicken cubes in a bowl and marinate with soy sauce and wine.

Heat enough oil for deep-frying in the wok over high heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden in color. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Pour off all but 3 Tbsp of the oil, and return the wok to a medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, chili bean paste, and chopped salted chilies and stir-fry until the oil is fragrant. Add the water and dark soy sauce and bring to a boil.

Mix in the chicken pieces and then cook over a high heat to reduce the sauce, stirring constantly. Season the chicken with salt, if necessary. Serve immediately with some scallions.

    This looks delicious! I already had plans to make those chopped salted chilies, but now I've got to get them going sooner so I can make this chicken. Looks like a perfect way to introduce them into my cooking.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
