Questions Szechuan chicken
I love Chinese food and used to go every week to an authentic traditional restaurant in my neighbourhood to eat Szechuan chicken.
But now they have closed and I’m really missing my food. I have tried so many other restaurants but none have the same tasty Szechuan chicken.
It’s super spicy. Lots and lots of dried chili bits and fermented black beans. Absolutely no peanuts. It’s a bit oily also and absolutely addictive and so so tasty.
I’ve tried to make it at home for a long time but can’t seem to get the flavour down.
Does anyone have a guess on what the name of the dish might be and have a recipe?
Many thanks!!
