Sichuan Spicy Chicken – Crispy, Fiery & Full of Flavour
This Sichuan Spicy Chicken recipe brings authentic Chinese flavours straight to your kitchen. Crispy fried chicken pieces are tossed with garlic, ginger, spring onions, fiery dried chillies, and numbing Sichuan peppercorns for the perfect balance of heat and fragrance. A splash of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha adds depth and spice. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s ideal for a quick weeknight dinner with rice, a weekend dish to impress friends, or part of an Asian-inspired sharing menu. Just like your favourite Chinese takeaway, this spicy chicken stir-fry is bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
