Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the chicken legs and chop them into small pieces, marinate them with cooking wine and salt for a while. It’s also great to use a whole chicken!

   

2. 2 Prepare onions, ginger and garlic

   

3. 3 Break open the dried chili peppers and get the seeds as well.

   

4. 4 Heat oil in a pan, add chicken pieces and fry until golden brown.

   

5. 5 Take out the oil control

   

6. 6 Heat oil in another pot, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add dried chilies and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant.

   

7. 7 The heat should be low, otherwise the chili will become burnt if the heat is too high. Add the fried chicken pieces, add soy sauce, pepper, sugar and chicken essence. Taste to see if it's salty, if it's salty add more salt. (Don’t add too much salt, it was already sprinkled when marinating)

   

8. 8 Sprinkle in green onions, stir-fry evenly and serve.
