Spicy Hunan Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon crumbled dried red chile pepper
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon hot bean sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
1
Combine the honey, peppercorns, salt, soy sauce, and sherry in a substantial container; incorporate the chicken and ensure it is evenly coated with the mixture.
2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach its optimal temperature.
3
Add the ginger, garlic, red chile pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until they release their fragrance, no more than 30 seconds. Introduce the chicken and its accompanying sauce mixture; fry for an additional 3 minutes. Decrease heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in its center, 5 to 10 minutes.
4
Mix the bean sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour it over the chicken and stir to combine. Increase heat to high, allowing the dish to cook for 1 minute. Present it immediately.
