Salt and Pepper Chicken: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 2–3 green onions, chopped
  • 1–2 red or green chili peppers, sliced (optional)
  • Cooking oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
  2. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using) to the chicken. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the cornstarch until fully coated.
  4. In a large pan or wok, heat enough cooking oil over medium-high heat for frying.
  5. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. In the same pan, add the chopped green onions and sliced chili peppers (if using). Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Add the fried chicken back into the pan with the green onions and chilies. Toss well to combine and heat through.
  9. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before serving.
