【Skill Summary】

1. To make spicy chicken, you can use whole chicken, chicken thighs, and chicken breasts, and the taste is the same. If you use whole chicken, you should first soak the blood in lightly salted water so that there will be no fishy smell.

2. The chicken pieces cannot be fried directly in the pot, so that it will not be crispy and flavorful. It should be mixed and marinated with seasonings first, and then starch and slurry should be added, which is crispy and flavorful. When frying the chicken nuggets, heat the oil in the pan and fry it again to make it fragrant and crispy.

3. The soul of this dish is Sichuan pepper and chili pepper, which must be a little more, otherwise the taste will not be authentic. You can put whatever the spices have, and the taste is not much worse. Remember to soak the chili pepper in cold water, it is not easy to paste.

4. Put a little less salt when seasoning, because the chicken pieces have been marinated in advance, and if you put too much salt, it will be too salty.
