Perfect restaurant style Indo Chinese Chili Chicken recipe  will give you that exact recipe you are looking for to make at home. Very easy steps to follow to make perfect Chili Chicken !


A very famous Indo-Chinese recipe I will share here today and a very common is most of the Indian Restaurant Menu's,its Chili Chicken Dry.
Being a Indo-Chinese cuisine fan,I like to have this most of the times when I visit restaurants. I am not sure from where the name originated or why and I have no idea if the authentic Chinese cuisine even have this kind of dish but in India / Asian  restaurant menu's its a HIT!

There are two versions of this dish one is dry and other is semi-gravy one. The dry version is the recipe that I am sharing here,its basically the deep-fried chicken chunks tossed in veggies and some basic sauces and to be eaten as an appetizer or a bite sized serving.
Rather the semi-gravy version is the one when all the steps and ingredients remain same as here but a slurry of cornflour is added to this to make it with gravy.

Firstly,you need to wash and dry the chicken breast / boneless piece with a kitchen tissue. Make bite sized pieces of this and marinate with salt,black pepper powder,soy sauce and vinegar.
I do this as the chicken pieces taste delicious on frying with this marination.
Further add Egg(optional),cornflour and All Purpose Flour and coat the pieces well,fry them on medium flame.

Next in a skillet / stir-fry pan,add coconut oil or any oil of your choice,when its hot,add the ginger-garlic and chili pepper,crushed and saute till it oozes great aroma.
This step actually gives that feeling that you are cooking some awesome Indo-Chinese street kind of Chili Chicken.
Next add veggies of your choice,little salt and black pepper powder.
Next add white Vinegar,tomato ketchup,red chili sauce and soy sauce.
Toss further till veggies are cooked and finally add the chicken pieces. Toss well and serve immediately.

      1. I'm replying here because I couldn't find anywhere where I could comment. Really weird. The chicken sounds and looks delicious. It's spiced up just the way we like it. This would be a great dish any day of the week. I haven't chicken this way before but it's time that I did.

    3. This looks absolutely delicious - definitely wonderful as a bite-sized appetizer! And really interesting that you can so easily convert it into the wet version, too, with just a cornflour slurry to make a gravy - perfect as a meal! So many flavors here - I really think me family would love it! Thanks for the great step-by-step photos, too!
