Función Premium
Chilli Chicken is characterized by a balance of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors, achieved through a combination of chili sauces, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings.
The dominant flavor profile involves a savory base from soy sauce and chicken broth (if used), a spicy kick from green chilies, red chili paste/sauce, and sometimes Szechuan peppercorns, and a touch of sweetness from sugar or honey. Ginger and garlic contribute aromatic warmth, while vinegar or lime juice adds a subtle tang. The chicken itself, often marinated, absorbs these flavors during cooking, and the vegetables add a fresh, crisp counterpoint.

Chicken Marination
Marinating the chicken in ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, and a touch of vinegar or lemon juice tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor.
Battering Technique
A light and crispy batter is crucial. Using cornstarch along with all-purpose flour helps achieve this. Avoid over-battering, as it can result in a heavy and soggy coating.
Stir-frying at High Heat
Stir-frying the chicken and vegetables at high heat ensures quick cooking and a desirable sear, preventing the chicken from becoming tough and the vegetables from becoming mushy.
Sauce Consistency
Adjust the amount of cornstarch slurry added to the sauce to achieve the desired thickness. A slightly thickened sauce clings better to the chicken and vegetables.
