CHICKEN IN CHILLI-GARLIC SAUCE


This is perhaps the simplest chicken recipe I have cooked till date. I had few guests at home last weekend, was thinking of some new kind of appetisers.... veg and non-veg. Chicken being extremely popular with my son, I have to explore through various chicken recipes to avoid the monotony.... both in cooking and eating. On that particular day, while going through few off beat chicken recipes, I got confused, I mean I liked some of them so much so that I could not select one for the day. Hence I planned for a simplistic one with a slightly different taste than the regular Indian curries. Almost no spices are used in this preparation. Just minced ginger-garlic, sliced onion, lemon juice, black pepper powder and a generous amount of chilli-garlic sauce are what I used to prepare this CHICKEN IN CHILLI GARLIC SAUCE. The predominant taste of the dish is of the sauce used, hence the name. It was juicy, a bit sweet n sour with a hint of heat, and was a hit off course. You too can try if you believe in me. Let us see how we do it.




INGREDIENTS :

Boneless Chicken  : 300 gm
Chilli-Garlic Sauce : 5-6 tbsp
Minced Ginger : 1/2 tsp
Minced Garlic : 1 tsp
Onion : 1 [cubed]
Lemon Juice : 1tbsp
Black Pepper Powder : 1tsp
Salt : As required
Oil : 2 tbsp
Chopped Parsley : 2tbsp [to garnish] [I skipped]

 METHOD :

Wash the chicken pieces thoroughly and marinate with salt, wash it off after half an hour. 

Marinate the chicken with the lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper powder, salt for 2-3 hours.

Heat the oil in a wok. Add the minced ginger and garlic. As you get a nice aroma, add the cubed onions.

Once the onion turns golden brown, add the chicken along with the marinade. Stir cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the chilli garlic sauce, stir cook for 2-3 minutes.

Switch off the gas stove and transfer the chicken onto a serving plate. Garnish with parsley.
