The iconic dish of chilli chicken has tender, yet crispy chicken chunks tossed with stir-fried veggies in a flavourful soy and chilli sauce, giving us a true burst of flavours. No wonder it has always been a crowd pleaser at restaurants or parties across age groups. And it may sound like a tricky dish to prepare at home, the truth is that chilli chicken is quite an easy affair to toss up in your own kitchen!

With the right recipe, and just some little tips and tricks you can make your own delicious chilli chicken at home. First up, make sure to cut up little chunks of a good chicken breast or thigh. To tenderise it better, soak it for a while in brine solution. To make the sauce more flavourful, add a bit of chilli sauce to soy sauce along with tomato puree. Make sure the consistency of the batter is both thick and drippy, so the chicken is coated well before deep frying.
