One of my favorite Bangla Chinese Dishes!

Bone-in chicken fried with ginger, garlic, and chilis covered in the most luscious sweet, spicy, umami sauce. Pairs perfectly with some steamed white rice, or try it with my easy Fried Rice recipe and/or any other of my other Bangla Chinese Recipes – Spicy Batter Fried Chicken, Soy Sauce Shrimp Stirfry.

Some Tips:

1. Prep your sauce in advance so you’re not rushing when it’s time.
2. Make sure the chicken is well drained and not wet so it gets a nice fry.
3. Cook your chicken until it stops bleeding (cooked through) before adding in the sauce to make sure it’s not undercooked. Over cooking will cause the chicken to break apart more easily so you also don’t want that.
4. Add onions towards the end so it doesn’t turn mushy.

INGREDIENTS  

• 2.5 lbs Chicken (2 inch pieces)
• 2 tbsp Veg Oil
• 1 tbsp Ginger (sliced thick/minced)
• 5-7 Garlic cloves (sliced thick/minced)
• 8-15 Dried red chilis
• 1/2 Large red onion (large cubes)
• 1/2 bunch Green onion

Sauce

• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1/2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Corn starch
• 1 tsp Rice vinegar
• Pinch of Salt
• Dash of Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS (pictures coming soon!)

Mix all your sauce ingredients together until the sugar dissolves.

Then heat your oil on high, wait for it to heat up, and carefully add in your chicken pieces.

Let them fry for a couple minutes until golden brown, then flip them over to get the other side.

Once browned, add in the ginger garlic and red chills, then mix and fry until the garlic starts browning.

Then add in a quarter cup of water, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Turn the heat down to medium low and let it simmer with the lid on for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through or all the liquid is reduced and the oils come out.

Throw in the red onions, turn your heat up to medium high, push the onions to the bottom of the chicken and fry until they just start to get translucent.

Then, pour in your sauce. Mix everything together and let it boil until you get to the consistency you want.

Sprinkle on some green onions and take if off the heat.
