Crispy Black Pepper Chicken Recipe



Do the double-frying method for even crispier chicken pieces.

Adjust the amount of black pepper powder to make it spicier or mild.


INGREDIENTS:
  • 800 g boneless chicken thighs cut into smaller pieces
  • 1 cup cornflour
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic 
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 red capsicum cut into smaller pieces
  • 100 g snow peas 
  • spring onions chopped
  • cooking oil

(A) MARINADE:
  • 1 tsp sugar 
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg beaten

(B) SAUCE MIXTURE:
  • 6 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce 
  • 1-2 tbsp coarse black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add chicken and ingredients (A) in a mixing bowlMix well and marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Mix all of ingredients (B) in a bowl and set aside.

3. Prepare cornflour on a wide plate. Coat marinated chicken pieces with cornflour individually.

4. Heat enough oil to deep fry chicken. Fry chicken until golden brown. Drain excess oil on a paper towel and set aside.

5. Next, heat about 3 tbsp of cooking oil in a cooking pan.

6. Add garlic, ginger and capsicum. Stir-fry the ingredients until fragrant.

7. Add in the sauce mixture (B) that we have prepared earlier on. Bring mixture to a simmer. (Note: add some water at this stage, if you prefer to have a looser sauce.)

8. When the sauce has come to a gentle simmer, add in the snow peas and fried chicken. Stir fry for about 2 minutes or until chicken pieces are well-combined with the sauce.

9. Lastly, add in some spring onions and give a quick mix. Off heat.

10. Serve while still hot.
