This Black Pepper Chicken Recipe is one of the easiest and most savory Chinese culinary made with boneless chicken and a few veggies like bell peppers and onions. The black pepper is a key player that brings all the fiery and tangy taste.
Prepare Sauce: Let's start with the sauce. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, red chili sauce, vinegar, black pepper, corn flour, and 2 tablespoons of water to prevent lumps. Mix well and set aside.
Marination: In a mixing bowl, coat chicken with corn flour. Add garlic ginger paste and two tablespoons of the black pepper sauce we made earlier. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Frying
Heat a frying pan with a bit of oil. Add the marinated chicken and fry until golden brown. No need for deep frying, just a few minutes until the color changes. Transfer the golden chicken to a plate.
In the same pan, add onions, bell pepper, and green chilies. Fry for 2 minutes over medium heat.
Next, pour the black pepper sauce and the fried chicken. Add a splash of water to prevent sticking. Season with salt and sprinkle sesame seeds. Let it all fry together for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
