Chicken Chilli is one of the most recognised Indo-Chinese dishes.
Unlike classic Chinese stir-fries that focus on subtle seasoning and balance, Indo-Chinese Chicken Chilli celebrates stronger flavours with crispy fried chicken, sharp garlic aroma, green chilli heat, soy sauce richness, and smoky wok tossing.

Chef's Notes & Tips
Chef’s Note
- The pinch of Baking Soda works by slightly altering the protein structure of the chicken, helping it stay softer after frying. Do not exceed the quantity or the texture can become spongy.
- For restaurant-style flavour, keep the flame high while stir-frying and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Chicken Chilli tastes best when vegetables still have a slight bite.
