Fiery Pepper Chicken

Fiery Pepper Chicken
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese cooking wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 pound boneless chicken, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch, or as needed
  • 3 cups peanut oil for frying
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 green onions, julienned
  • 2 long, green chilies - cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups dried chilies, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Szechuan peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Chinese cooking wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


  1. Stir together 1 teaspoon cooking wine and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; add the chicken and stir to coat. Allow to marinate 2 to 3 minutes. Place the marinated chicken in a large, sealable plastic bag with the cornstarch and shake to coat.
  2. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Fry the chicken in the oil until it begins to crisp around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the oil, discarding the rest.
  3. Reheat the reserved oil in the wok over medium-high heat; cook and stir the garlic, ginger, and green onions in the oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the green chilies, crushed dried chilies, and Szechuan peppercorns; continue frying about 20 seconds more. Return the chicken to the wok; stir in the soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cooking wine, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
