Chilli chicken is hot, spicy, and delicious. I make it up many times a year especially for parties and social events. Believe me, your family and friends will love it.
As usual, I am a fan of boneless, skinless breasts, but you can use the chicken cut of your choice. Make sure, however, to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
You can use the soy sauce of your choice. Regular soy sauce is used in this recipe but malt or Thai can be used too.
I marinate for only 10 to 15 minutes but it can be left overnight. As always, the longer the better.
Chicken stock is used in the recipe, but you can use water too. Again, use the soy sauce of your choice for the sauce. More or less ketchup can be used. Adjust the chilli sauce according to your taste.
The dish is great served up over a bed of steamed rice.
