The Sichuan Cuisine originates in Sichuan province of southwestern China. Sichuan is hot and spicy, the food too. There is hot food, then there is scorching. But when it comes to spicy cuisine, China’s Sichuan Province is in a fiery class of its own. Likewise, the mind-numbing flavors of this fascinating part of the Middle Kingdom.
This Chongqing Spicy Chicken recipe ( 重庆辣子鸡) is one of the more popular Sichuan dishes. It’s not just chillies studded with fried chicken. this Spicy Chicken Recipe consists of little nuggets of chicken that have been stir-fried to a light crispy crust, and then stir fried with copious quantities of chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. I know that sounds like the recipe for plenty of other Sichuan dishes, but the execution here makes all the difference. The combination of crunch, juiciness, chili heat, and peppercorn numbing is just insane. Never mind that it is 3-chillies hot! You might just find yourself tearing from the hot numbing sensations but still wanting more of this addictive dish! Also: it goes unbelievably well with beer.

I will not make food where a culture serves dead dogs and kittens in their food. sick bastards
Dogs, kittens- lambs, anemic calves(veal).
Where do you draw the line? You need to open your mind to cultural vairety
and get that American flag stuck out your tight butt.
One has to wonder why such a bigoted individual as Garnet Pickard Ham is reading Chinese recipes when he/she has absolutely zero interest in other cultures. It must be all that in-breeding he/she has which is compelling him/her to be such a complete prick/arsehole!!!!
I don’t see any dog or cat recipe here. Some culture may consider you a sick bastard for eating beef. And plus, there is only a VERY small percentage of the population that would even consider dogs and cats as a source of protein.
^ haha! We have a winner!
Maybe it’s better you just eat in the McDonalds…
It seems very delicious .Sure, i will try it.
MANY THANKS.
