Chicken Chilly
A beloved Indo-Chinese favorite, Chicken Chilly (also called Chilli Chicken) is a bold, spicy, and tangy dish that delivers a perfect blend of crisp, juicy chicken and vibrant flavors. Popular in restaurants and street food stalls alike, it’s a go-to appetizer or side dish for anyone craving that signature spicy kick.

Boneless chicken pieces are marinated in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sometimes a hint of chili paste, then lightly coated in flour or cornstarch and deep-fried or pan-fried until golden and crispy. The fried chicken is then quickly tossed in a hot wok with a colorful mix of bell peppers, onions, and green chilies, all stir-fried to stay crisp yet tender.

A savory sauce made with soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, green chili sauce, and a dash of black pepper or red chili flakes brings the signature spicy-tangy taste. A touch of garlic and spring onions adds extra depth and freshness.

Served hot, garnished with fresh chopped spring onions, Chicken Chilly is perfect on its own as an appetizer or as a flavorful side dish with fried rice or noodles. It’s spicy, saucy, and full of irresistible Indo-Chinese flavor — a true crowd-pleaser!
