Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Marinate the chicken pieces with soy sauce, rice vinegar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1/2 tsp black pepper, Kashmiri chili powder, and salt for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Fry the Chicken

  • Heat 4 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the marinated chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, a pinch of black pepper, and 2 tbsp water until smooth.

Sauté Vegetables

  • Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in the same wok or skillet. Add the chopped onions and bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Combine and Simmer

  • Add the fried chicken to the wok along with the green chilies and salt. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables. Add a splash of water if needed, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Chicken Chili:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust the amount of green chili to control the spiciness level.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken; cook in batches for even browning.
  • For a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch slightly.
