Szechuan chicken, also known as Sichuan chicken, Mala Chicken or Laziji, is a beautifully spiced stir-fried chicken dish, usually served dry, rather than saucy, and characterised by the use of Szechuan peppercorns and lots of dried red chillies.

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken and marinade:
▢8 boneless chicken thighs - chopped into bitesize chunks
▢1 tbsp dark soy sauce
▢1 tbsp light soy sauce
▢1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
▢¼ tsp white pepper
▢2 tbsp cornflour - cornstarch
For Frying:
▢240 ml (1 cup) sunflower oil
▢1 tbsp sesame oil
▢1 onion - peeled and chopped into chunks
▢25 dried red chillies - - chop 5 of them into small pieces and leave the rest whole
▢1 ½ tsp Sichuan peppercorns - ground using a pestle and mortar (the 1 ½ tsp is measured BEFORE grinding)
▢3 cloves garlic - minced
▢2 tsp minced ginger
▢5 spring onions - scallions roughly chopped
▢2 tbsp light soy sauce
▢1 tbsp Chinese rice wine
▢1 tbsp chilli bean paste - *See Note
▢1 tbsp sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl with the rest of the marinade ingredients.
Stir together, cover and marinade for 30 minutes (or up to a couple of hours - place in the refrigerator if marinading for more than 30 minutes).
Heat the oil (reserving 1 tbsp for later) over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan.
Add the chicken, a piece at a time (you may need to work in 2 batches), and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning a couple of times, until golden.
Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Heat the reserved 1 tbsp of sunflower oil along with 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a wok over a medium-high heat.
Add the onion and dried chillies and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften slightly.
Add in the ground Sichuan peppers and fry for a further minute.
Add in the garlic, ginger and spring onions and stir fry for a further 30 seconds.
Add in the soy sauce, rice wine, chilli bean paste and sugar. Stir together and fry for another minute.
Add in the cooked chicken and toss everything together, heating for a further minute or two until the chicken is hot.
Serve with boiled rice.
✎ NOTES
Chilli Bean Paste - known as toban djan or doubanjiang - if you can’t find this, you can replace with Gochujang (a Korean Chilli paste that’s little sweeter, but still good), or at a push, hoisin sauce mixed with a good pinch of chilli flakes.

You literally saved me! I moved out my mums and I had no idea how to cook. Youve kept me out the takeaway keeping cooking simple!! Thank you..
You are so welcome!
We made this tonight, and it was the SPICIEST dish I have ever made. Having said that, it was probably also among the most delicious. THANK YOU, NICKY!
Yes I made too was lovely but if honest probably a little too spicy. Half of the dried chili's and toban djan next time
And not a particularly good interpretation.
As always a beautiful dish and a well presented video, best wishes from Ireland 👍😁
This looks amazing! Thanks Nicky
I love Szechuan,definitely going to try this recipe but with pork👍🏼😃
your recipes are so great and your video quality is so pleasing to watch! 2021 goals for me!
Lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Love your recipes dear one, always super-duper! Particularly love that the recipes so rarely contain ingredients we don't already have in the cupboard. Much appreciated. God bless you and your family 🙏
Rarely contain ingredients we don’t already have...... Chinese rice wine,, sesame oil,,, Sichuan peppercorn,,, chilli bean paste... haha we’ve all got that lot in
Its all the chicken dishes..I love it.
Dear Nicki the Champ, must tell you that there were no need in using a separate frying pan for the chicken, it can be done in the Wok, then put it aside and dispose of the used oil. Then add fresh oil with the sesame oil for completing the recipe. Bobs your Uncle and we washed less dishes!😊😉
Thanks Nicky. Chilli bean paste should be available at your local Chinese supermarket, I got mine at Wing Yip Manchester.
Agreed, and it's worth finding. I make both gochujang and doubanjiang, and there's really a world of difference (not least because the former is made with soy beans and the latter broad beans).
Looks great! Thank you!
I follow several Chinese cooks and I was a bit sceptical with Kitchen Sanctuary. Subscribing to this channel has been one of the best moves I have made on UA-cam 👍. Very easy to follow with normal ingredients and the Crispy Sesame chicken is gorgeous. Thank you
Thanks. I will definitely cook this again.
Just cooked this
Very tasty indeed
And even used cop sticks
This is my first time watching your videos. I love your cooking it's so easy and clean.
I’m going to make this dish next. Look good over rice. I like it over Jasmin Rice. It takes good to me. I sometimes make a burrito 🌯 out of it too, especially the left overs.
I really enjoy cooking 🧑🏻🍳
Lovely, just like you. I'm getting fatter!!!!! It's those delicious recipes.
LOL, so glad you put a full stop in that sentence where you did 😂😋
@@Kitchensanctuary haha! I was thinking the same! Great dish 😄
@@Kitchensanctuary ah, lol, I see. Well, it is funny, I just noticed, well spotted. And you, look great. If you don't believe, ask hubby.
Your dishes are simple and easy to create.i have tried lot of your dishes at home 👍👍
I can’t stop watching your vids. Eventually I’ll make something. I will. So easy to follow and understand beautiful looking food and host. Awesome job. Keep em coming.
LIKE LOVE YOU LITERALLY!!! Thank you so much for these lovely recipes🙏😊
Great cook and she’s bloody gorgeous too !
YumbaKitchenLicious! Can't wait to try.
Great presentation as well.
scrumptious
Love your style and your recipes. Simple and accessible. You demystify the complexity of those restaurant dishes and it totally works. At least it did for me with the Szechwan Chicken. Scoured the internet, tried other recipes, yours is simply what came out best. But I do all the cooking in the work. Would ad 1/2 tsp of Chinese dark vinegar. Very nice. Tks
I'm wary of the dried chillies, but I now know what to do with Szechuan pepper corns, at least. Another recipe to add to my growing list of delicious things to try. Thanks, Nicky.
It's really only a Sichuan dish if you use both - their combined flavour is called mala, and the balance between them is fundamental.
looks very good Cheers!!
looks so yummy.
Crikey Nicky, these recipes are getting addictive, think I've tried so many over the last month😋😋😋every one is absolutely delish!!!! Best utube channel for recipes. Thankyou so much😁💐xxxx
Great recipe. I also add about a 1/2 cup of roast peanuts to the wok. Another option for the szechuan peppercorns, chilli bean sauce, and dry chillis: All are available on Amazon.

You’re better than any Chinese. Thanks for your video.
Another recipe to try out! Just had the lamb Bhuna for dinner, it was delicious.
Has anyone come across 'Rate My Takeaway'? It's hosted by Danny and I honestly thought he was a new Peter Kay character!!
God I love watching him, yeah looks and sounds like Peter Kay
Loving your videos which are easy to follow . I found the chicken had a gooey texture after frying . Like from the cornflour paste . Should I rince off if that happens? Thanks
Delicious 🤤 Dish
Thank you 😋
Yummm. We can't even buy sechuwan pepper here.
I'm coming to your house tonight. Look out!
hum GREAT

Thank you so much 😊
I was born in Sze Chuan 😃😃😃 Hahahha I saw “ 特级老抽” on your counter 🤭🤭🤭 you like dry 🌶️， 干辣椒😀😀😀😀🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭. Don’t forget use Chapstick 🥢 when you eat 😃😃😃😃wish you cook more Chinese dishes 🤪🤪 鱼香茄子🍆 ， 麻婆豆腐， 水煮鱼， all my favorite 🤪🤪😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Will try this. Is it freezable Nicky?
What can I use instead of cornflour in the frying stage?
Was told that if you Velvet the chicken for more than 30 mins it toughens it up , would that be your experience or not ? Still end dish looks fabulous.
I thought adding heat to Seasame Oil made it really bitter? Only use at the end for flavour?
25 chillies 🌶️ 🤯🥵
Where did you get the szechuan peppers from??? It's my favourite dish!! 😋
A big selection of vendors on Amazon. I got mine there
Could you do a Chinese beef with mushroom pls?
Delicious
Thank you 😋
I always have to watch again because the first view finds me distracted by the cutie pie lady.
Haha true!
hi !
great recipe, 4 sure !
But there's one thing I'd like to know. "Chinese rice wine" . . . do you mean ShaoXing ?
I cant find the pepper corns
Is frying on sesame oil allowed ?

1/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. cornstarch
Freshly ground pepper, preferably Szechuan
Vegetable oil, for frying

We would really like a person of your caliber to join Localfnf community and be our host chef.
17 seconds to click on this! and I was just about to turn off the computer and go work in the garden.
Was this a problem with UA-cam? I hope the video played ok for you after that?
You can't eat any of those red peppers right?
Hi can I use Quorn chicken or tofu instead?
No.
I really love your video, it is easy to follow but yet great way how to make a super dish. I would also like to praise you for no subscribe messages, i really don't like them on youtube videos.
You are not Chinese but your recipe better than Chinese :)
Nicky ; get yourself a TV contract pronto.
I would add some lemon .>>> small amount
Interesting, I'll give that a go next time I make it :)
I normally don't attempt traditional Chinese recipes because there are way too many ingredients and too many steps that don't result in more food on your plate.
Mald
Who else can’t bear that sounds coming from metal spatula and wok while stirring. 🙉
Darn video refuses to load.
did she say wock? somebody call lil yachty
Shame you deleted my genuine comments not about money snd surely not my business or nothing linked to me but a great ingredient I found today from a professional small business for a hard to find ingredient in my case and discussed when you published this video 1 month ago. Anyway all the best to KS. 😊
Tbh I have tried a few of your dishes and I don't see the point in dark soy sauce. It ruins everything and makes it too dark and rich. The experts don't use it.
People get mixed up and assume soy sauce = dark soy sauce, it is not. Use standard soy sauce and light soy sauce or all light, or all standard. The dark stuff should only be used very sparingly.
Don’t use metal spatulas or utensils on your pots or pans.
This is not "your version" of the recipe, nor have you "recreated it". You've simply lifted it from another video on UA-cam.
Waaaay too hot
Everything i dislike ewwww
So dont put too many chilli's etc in
这是我见过的最糟糕的辣子鸡食谱！
Poor quality audio. Speaks too fast, cannot make out what ingredients are added in the recipe. Garbage video as far as I am concerned.
FAR too much oil. Categorically unnecessary and use olive oil, that is GOOD for you, not vegetable oil. This is unhealthy, fattening, salty and shit. And I know what I'm talking about.
Why didn’t you just tell us we’re you got your chilli bean sauce?
Can get that on ebay or Tesco
I live in the USA...I really doubt don't care where British people shop for chili bean sauce. I've never heard of Tesco and I am sure anything sold on ebay is not a smart purchase.
@@judithpascoe747 sorry for trying to help!
@@alexhart4763 Wasting your time Alex:
There is no world outside of the U.S.of A.
(That in itself explains many things.)
Amazon U.K. has the dried chilli peppers and chilli bean sauce, not advertising them btw just that I looked for these at the local supermarkets they didn’t have the ingredients nor did their online versions 🙄. Don’t have a big Tesco near me...I’ll omit the paste anyway as it will make it too hot I will use normal black bean sauce with no dried chilli flakes in as opposed to hoisin sauce. Will use less dried chillis for the same and I’m sure it will be as tasty. The one thing you can’t do without here is the Szechuan peppers 😋 and all the other ingredients of course. Fab recipe from the Kitchen Sanctuary.
