Garlic Stir-Fried Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 15 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons Shao-Hsing cooking wine or dry sherry
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 1/3 cups chicken stock
Instructions
1
Prepare your ingredients by sprinkling salt and black pepper evenly over the chicken, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
2
Next, gently dust the seasoned chicken with flour to create a light coating.
3
In a large skillet or wok, heat a generous amount of peanut oil over extremely high heat until it reaches the point of smoking.
4
Carefully add the chicken to the skillet and continue stirring rapidly until all sides are lightly browned, approximately 3-5 minutes.
5
Reduce the heat to a moderate level and introduce whole garlic cloves into the mixture, stirring continuously for an additional 5 minutes.
6
Gradually decrease the heat to a low setting and combine Shao-Hsing wine, soy sauce, and chicken stock in the skillet.
7
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is tenderly cooked.
8
Before serving, carefully remove the garlic cloves from the dish to preserve their flavor and aroma.
