Chicken in Schezwan Sauce/ Restaurant Style

My love for spicy foods have taken over my cooking too. Couple days back i was in a spicy mood, so decided to try out some schezwan cuisine. And i am telling you, this has become one of my favourite foods in the world. Schezwan chicken is one of the popular style chicken appetizers served across the globe.

How to Make Chicken in Schezwan Sauce

Put the Chicken into a mixing bowl and add the egg, maida, cornflour, salt, ginger, garlic paste, soya sauce, to it. Mix well till the other ingredients form a thick paste that coats the chicken well. If the paste is not thick enough, sprinkle a little more cornflour and mix well, keep it aside for 30 minutes.

Start to heat the cooking oil for frying chicken, once the oil is hot, gently add chicken pieces and fry till a small colour change to golden yellow. Drain well and remove from the oil. Keep aside on paper towels for later use.

In another pan or wok, heated on high, add 2tbsp oil. When the oil is smokey hot, add the chopped garlic saute it for a minute and add green chillies chopped.
