This Sichuan-style Spicy Chicken is a bold, fiery dish packed with layers of flavor and texture. Tender chicken is first boiled with ginger for a juicy base, then chilled for perfect bite. The magic happens with a sizzling chili oil infusion—roasted peanuts, toasted black sesame seeds, and aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic create a rich, nutty depth. A drizzle of hot chili oil awakens the spices, while soy sauce, sugar, and salt balance the heat. The final touch? Crispy dried red peppers and fragrant peppercorns fried in chili oil for an addictive numbing spice. Each bite delivers crunch, heat, and umami, making this dish irresistibly addictive. Perfect for spice lovers craving authentic Sichuan flavors!
