Chilli chicken is a popular Indo-Chinese dish that's loved by many for its spicy and tangy flavors. Made with tender chicken pieces coated in a flavorful sauce, it's a dish that's perfect for both lunch and dinner. Here's a simple recipe to make this delicious dish at home:

Ingredients:

  • 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon red chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 onion, chopped

Instructions:

STEP 1- Marinate the chicken pieces in soy sauce, vinegar, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce, ginger-garlic paste, cornstarch, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
