Make Dry-Fried Spicy Chicken at Home! More Delicious Than Restaurant Food, Perfect as a Snack
Today, let's share the method of making dry-fried spicy chicken at home, and I hope everyone can make spicy chicken to their liking. When cooking at home, if this dish is on the table, it's guaranteed to be the most popular!
Ingredients
Chicken legs, dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic, scallions, salt, chicken powder, black pepper, sugar, oyster sauce, white sesame seeds, cooking wine, cornstarch, vegetable oil
Instructions
Enjoy fresh chicken legs, after cleaning the blood stains, cut into chicken pieces and put them into a basin for later use
After peeling ginger, wash it clean and slice it, wash scallions clean and make scallion threads, peel garlic and wash it clean for later use
Wash dried chili pepper segments with a little water, remove any floating dust, then cut or scissor them into chili pepper segments
Add a little cornstarch to the basin, ginger slices, cooking wine, salt and stir evenly, marinate for 30 minutes
When ready to cook, add enough vegetable oil to the wok, then use your hands to carefully put the marinated chicken pieces into the hot oil for frying
After all the chicken pieces are in the pot, fry over low heat. As the oil temperature rises, the surface of the chicken pieces will solidify, so take it out and drain the oil
Continue heating the oil to about 70% hot, then put the chicken pieces that have been fried once into the pot, fry until the surface is slightly scorched and yellow, take it out
Add a little vegetable oil to the wok, add chopped scallions, ginger, garlic and dried chili pepper segments and Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant
Then put the fried chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fry until absorbed, after two or three minutes, add chicken powder, black pepper, a little sugar and a little oyster sauce, and finally sprinkle with white sesame seeds, stir-fry evenly and serve
Summary
1. Here we recommend using chicken legs. When making spicy chicken, whether it's chicken legs, chicken breast or a whole chicken chopped up, it's all about your preference. I once tried combining chicken feet and chicken legs and making dry-fried spicy chicken, and the result was actually quite good!
2. Here we only used dried chili pepper segments, not green or red peppers. If you like spicy food, you can try adding green and red pepper slices about one centimeter wide, and then stir-fry them together with the dried chili pepper segments. This will make the spicy chicken flavor richer and more authentic, and the chili flavor won't be too spicy and dry.
