Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cut the boneless chicken into 1-inch pieces and marinate with garlic-ginger-onion mix, dark and regular soy sauces, chilli powder, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining dark and regular soy sauces, rice vinegar, honey, and a slurry made from corn starch and water. Set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet until it reaches 350°F (177°C). Coat marinated chicken in corn starch and deep-fry in batches for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Sauté chopped onion and green pepper in oil for about 2 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with sautéed vegetables, simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the fried chicken, tossing gently until well-coated.
  6. Serve the Irresistibly Spicy Chilli Chicken hot with a side of steamed rice.
