Chilli Chicken is one of my favorite recipes,whenever I go to a restaurant the first thing I would order from the menu card will be chilli chicken Dry.I was 15 when I first tasted this recipe,from then on my crave for this delicious recipe never had a full stop,so I decided to make this at home .First attempt was a huge success and my family members loved it and the same day I was forced to make a second batch.Chilli chicken is an Indo-Chinese recipe in which chicken is coated with chilli sauce, soy sauce, pepper and has lot of flavoring in it.This restaurant style chilli chicken is my family favorite and I guarantee that you will also like this recipe.
We can make variations in this recipe ,we can make it semi gravy for naan, roti or fried rice by adding corn flour mixture or we can also make it dry and can serve as a starter both tastes awesome.The bell peppers and the onions added in this recipe will have a crunchy texture and tastes delightful.
