Cooking Directions
Cut chicken into small uniform pieces. You can cut it into uniform cubes.
Personally I like the slant cuts because it is easy to cook and makes it nice and crispy.
Mix into the chicken, one egg, corn starch, pepper powder and a pinch of salt. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
Heat 3/4 cup of oil in a pan and deep fry the chicken pieces till crisp and golden brown.
Drain out from the oil and keep aside.
In another pan pour a little oil and fry minced garlic and dry red chilli. Saute till there is a nice aroma.
Add the onions and after a minute add bell pepper and green chilly.
Saute in medium high flame for about a minute and add the fried chicken and chilly flakes.
Toss all together. In a small bowl mix in soya sauce, chilly sauce,chilly oil and sugar and pour this over the chicken and give it a good toss.
Allow the liquid to get well coated and absorbed and garnish with spring onions. Serve warm.
