  • 2 tbsp cornflour

  • 1–2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp red chili sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • ½ tsp vinegar
  • ¼ cup water (for gravy version only)
  • 1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening gravy)

🍳 Instructions

🔥 Step 1: Marinate & Fry Chicken

  2. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Heat oil and fry the chicken (deep or shallow) until golden brown and crispy. Set aside on paper towels.

🍛 Step 2: Prepare the Chili Sauce

  1. In a wok or pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until aromatic.
  2. Add onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes (they should stay slightly crisp).
  3. Pour in soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, and vinegar. Mix well.

✅ For Gravy Version: Add ¼ cup water + cornflour slurry. Cook till slightly thickened, then add chicken. Toss and serve hot.

  • Thigh meat gives juicier results than breast.
  • Use high heat for stir-frying to keep veggies crisp.
  • Adjust sauces to your spice and sweetness preference.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.

No—but you can easily adapt it with rice flour and gluten-free soy sauce.
