 HOW TO MAKE CHILLI CHICKEN

Chilli Chicken is a popular Indo-chinese dish. Though mainly boneless chicken is used in this dish, some people also use bone-in- chicken too. It is a snack or starter dish that is served in Indo-chinese restaurants.

Chilli Chicken is a sweet, spicy and slightly sour appetizer made with chicken, capsicum, onion, garlic,ginger, chili sauce, soy sauce,tomato sauce, vinegar etc. People make this recipe in so many ways. I prefer bone-in-chicken. In this recipe deep fried chicken cubes are tossed with a sauce. It tastes perfect with noodles, fried rice etc.
