Ingredients for Pan-Fried pepper chicken:
- Chicken: The boneless chicken tight is the best for this recipe. You can remove the skin. Chicken breast is not recommended as it will get too dry.
- White pepper powder: White pepper powder is slightly less aromatic and more delicate flavor. It is widely used in Chinese cuisine for a clean and light spiciness without being too overwhelming. Yes, you can replace the white pepper powder with black pepper powder in this recipe.
- Ginger: Ginger is only for infusing oil and not for eating. We will normally remove them before serving.
- Oil: I usually use olive oil but you can use any vegetable oil.
Recipe Notes:
- Use the chicken thighs and other parts of the chicken that might get too dry from pan frying.
- The ratio of salt and pepper powder is 1:2. But you can adjust the amount for your liking.
- The fork test is a good way to determine whether or not your chicken is cooked. The fork should be able to pierce through the chicken easily. The juices from the chicken should run clear when you cut into it.
