Sichuan Style
Kung Pao Chicken is one of the most famous Sichuan stir fries, known for its bold heat, gentle sweetness and that unmistakable tingling sensation from crushed Sichuan peppercorns. This Kung Pao Chicken recipe follows a traditional balance of sweet, sour and savoury flavours, using chicken thighs for tenderness and a glossy sauce that caramelises quickly in a smoking hot wok.
The name Kung Pao is associated with Sichuan cuisine, where dried red chillies and Sichuan peppercorns create the signature mala effect. The key to authentic Kung Pao Chicken is high heat, proper sequencing and never losing your sizzle.
