Hunan Style Hot And Spicy Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the honey, peppercorns, salt, soy sauce, and sherry in a large bowl; add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the ginger, garlic, red chile pepper, and green onions; cook and stir until fragrant, no more than 30 seconds. Stir in the chicken and soy sauce mixture; fry another 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover. Simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the bean sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl; pour over the chicken and stir. Turn heat to high and allow to cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, sherry, and ginger together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While chicken marinates, soak dried chiles in warm water until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Cut chile peppers, shallot, and scallion diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
• Grind anise seed into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and add chicken broth, vinegar, sugar, and salt; mix until well combined.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add chile peppers and shallot; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add scallion and stir-fry, 30 seconds more. Add marinade mixture and chicken and stir-fry, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth mixture and mix well.
• Cook over low heat until chicken pieces are tender, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. Stir in cornstarch to thicken sauce; serve with chicken.

Steps:

• Mix together ingredients for marinade and add to chicken; marinate chicken at least 30 min, up to an hour.
• Mix together ingredients for cooking sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp peanut oil, garlic, and red pepper in wok until you just start to smell them; add chicken and cook, stir-frying 3-4 minutes or until cooked through; remove from wok and set aside.
• Add the other 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp peanut oil to wok and add snow peas, mushrooms, and bok choy; stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until bok-choy becomes crisp-tender.
• Add green onions, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and bean sprouts to the other veggies and stir-fry another minute or so.
• Add the chicken back to the wok and stir all together.
• Pour reserved cooking sauce over the stir-fry and cook, stirring until mixture is hot and thickened, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Serve with hot steamed rice.
• Just adding a note that the reason I don't use grated ginger in this recipe is because I wanted the dish to have a "subtle" ginger taste, and although I could have use a small amount of grated ginger, I felt that perhaps not as much in the dish would have been flavored by that- so in reference, I would use slices about the size of a large coin or American quarter coin.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix ginger slices, sherry vinegar and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Marinate chicken pieces for 30 minutes in soy sauce marinade.
• Grind Sichuan pepper to powder and add to mixing bowl. Mix in the chicken broth, 2 tbsp soy sauce, wine, sugar, salt and black pepper.
• Heat oil in a wok or heavy frying pan. Add sliced green onion and chili peppers and stir fry for one minute.
• Add soy marinade and chicken to scallions and hot pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes more.
• Add chicken broth mixture and mix well. Cook over medium-low heat until chicken pieces are fully cooked (8-10 minutes) stirring frequently. Add cornstarch to thicken. Serve with rice.
