We love spicy chicken and Hunan is no exception. If you want yours less spicy, lessen the number of chilis and sambal oelek. Hunan chicken is a stir-fried dish that is just coated in a dusting of cornstarch with a spicy chili paste sauce coating a mixture of vegetables. Szechuan Chicken is generally battered and fried before being added to a pan of stir-fried vegetables and coated in a much sweeter sauce than Hunan chicken.

Ingredients

  • Rice, for serving

  • 1 tsp. Sesame oil

  • 2 tsp. Sambal oelek

  • 1 tsp. Cornstarch

  • 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp. Sherry

  • 4-6 Dried chilis

  • 1 Red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 Large head broccoli, cut into small florets

  • 1 Sliced piece ginger, minced

  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces

  • 3 tbsp. Canola oil, divided

Method

  • 01
    Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and fry for 7minutes until cooked through, then remove from the pan.
  • 02
    Heat remaining canola oil in the same pan. Add ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add broccoli, bell pepper and red chili for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • 03
    Mix sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, sambal oelek and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add chicken back to the pan and toss to coat. Serve over rice.
