[Required accessories]: green onion, ginger and garlic, dried Sichuan pepper, peanuts, white sesame seeds, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, sugar, chicken essence, salt, starch

——Start making——

Step 1: You don't need to blanch the spicy chicken, but you need to soak the chicken in clean water for about 20 minutes, soak out the blood water in the chicken, pluck out the fluff, and then chop it into small pieces for later use. Cut the chicken pieces into smaller pieces, which is not only easier to cook, but also makes the spicy chicken more fragrant.

Step 2: Chop the chicken pieces and prepare the marinating ingredients, just cut some ginger and green onions.

Step 3: Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and add the shredded green onion and ginger, then add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of cooking wine, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, an appropriate amount of pepper and an appropriate amount of salt. Mix for 2-3 minutes, then marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: After the chicken marinates for 15 minutes, add a teaspoon of starch to the meat, mix evenly and marinate for another 5 minutes. Adding starch can make the chicken not lose internal moisture when it is heated, and it will taste more tender.

Step 5: Finally, before frying, pick out the shredded green onion and ginger, then pour in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, mix well and fry in the pan, so that the chicken pieces will not stick to each other.

Step 6: Prepare a large handful of dried peppers, cut them all into small pieces for later use, do not use the pepper seeds, and then prepare a pinch of dried peppercorns. Note that there should be more chili peppers, and the spicy chicken will be delicious. If there are too few chili peppers, it will not be called spicy chicken, but it is still necessary to make it according to the level of spicy food you can eat.

Step 7: Prepare a handful of cooked peanuts and a handful of white sesame seeds, and make spicy chicken, which will taste richer with these two combinations. Chop some green onions, ginger and garlic and set aside.

Step 8: Heat the oil, more oil. When the oil temperature is 6 hot, add the chicken pieces to fry it, and fry it for a minute and a half to get out. Then boil the oil in the pan until it is 8 hot, then add the chicken pieces and fry for 30 seconds. Don't worry about the oil for frying chicken, it's okay to filter it. There are a lot of fried dishes for the Chinese New Year itself, so you can keep them for special fried.

Step 9: Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot, and when the oil is slightly hot, add dried peppercorns, dried chili peppers, green onions, ginger and garlic at one time, and stir-fry until fragrant. Remember not to keep the oil too hot at first, otherwise the peppercorns and chili peppers will be mushy in the pan.

Step 10: Add the fried chicken pieces, stir-fry quickly, add some sugar and chicken essence to taste. Finally, add cooked peanuts and white sesame seeds, stir-fry quickly and evenly.
