Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 500 chicken breast

Sauces and Oils:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Aromatics and Vegetables:

  • 1 tablespoon ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 12 red chilies
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 green onions

Instructions

  1. Mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oyster sauce with diced chicken breast. Allow it to absorb flavors at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Toss 1 tablespoon minced ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves into hot oil. Sauté for exactly 45 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until exterior turns golden brown.
  5. Introduce 12 sliced red chilies and 1 sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry rapidly for 4 minutes, ensuring your chicken remains tender.
  6. Sprinkle 2 chopped green onions and drizzle 1 tablespoon sesame oil over the chicken. Toss everything together for 90 seconds.
  7. Transfer the spicy chicken directly onto serving plates. Pair with steamed rice or your favorite noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor absorption, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust chili quantity based on your heat tolerance, using milder peppers for a gentler kick.
  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more tenderness and richer taste.
  • Gluten-free version works perfectly by swapping soy sauce with tamari and checking oyster sauce ingredients.
