The dish has a gentle chilli hotness and looks very appetizing. The hot peppers include dried chili, chaotian pepper, and Sichuan peppercorns. In this recipe, dry-fried small chunks of chicken become delightfully toasty and flavorful.

Final Notes
You can use bone-in chicken instead. Add a bit of sugar for seasoning can make the dish more savory, spicy without burning sensation, and you don’t taste the sweetness.
