Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with salt, pepper, cornflour, and an egg. Give it a good mix and let it marinate for about an hour.
Step 2
Heat up about 2 cups of oil in a pan. When it’s hot, fry the chicken pieces until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, take the chicken out and set it aside.

Carefully pour out about 1½ cups of the oil from the pan, leaving some behind for cooking.
Step 4
Put the fried chicken back into the pan.
Step 5
Add the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, fresh ginger, and chilies. Stir everything together and let it cook for a minute or two so the flavors blend.
Step 6
Once it’s all heated through and smells amazing, it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Serve with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of sautéed greens or a crisp cucumber salad adds a refreshing balance to the spicy notes. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for extra color and taste.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to avoid drying out the chicken. This dish also freezes well—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
