Celery Stir-Fried Chicken

This Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken with Celery is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender chicken with crisp celery and bold spices for a flavor-packed meal. The chicken is first stir-fried until perfectly dry, then infused with aromatic ginger, scallions, and fiery dried chili peppers. Star anise and Sichuan peppercorns add a warm, numbing depth, while soy sauce enhances the umami richness. A quick stew in water locks in juiciness before finishing with fresh celery (or green peppers for variation) for a satisfying crunch. The result? A glossy, fragrant dish with a perfect balance of heat and savoriness—ready in minutes yet bursting with complex flavors. Ideal for spice lovers, this easy stir-fry brings restaurant-quality taste to your home kitchen!
