Chilli Chicken

Chilli Chicken Recipe is one of our family favorite recipe next to chicken manchurian. I often get confused with the chilli chicken and the chicken manchurian as both are prepared in the same way with very slight difference. One of my friend said in chilli chicken, boneless chicken breast is marinated and fried and while preparing chilli sauce is added along with tomato sauce but in chicken manchurian shredded chicken pieces are marinated with corn flour mixture and fried to a crispy balls and prepared with tomato sauce and bit sweeter in taste. If you know any other difference between the chilli chicken and the chicken manchurian just let me know.

In restaurants, you can notice that chicken pieces in chilli chicken would be tender and juicy. But when we do it in house, chicken may become dry and rubbery while we fry it. In order to get juicy and tender chicken, we need to do brining. Brining is a process similar to marination in which meat or poultry is soaked in brine before cooking.Salt is added to cold water in a container, where the meat is soaked anywhere from 30 minutes to a few days. The amount of time needed to brine depends on the size of the meat. Instead of salt water, you can do it with salted buttermilk also. After brining, drain the pieces and use it. Eggs can also be used to keep the chicken from drying. In this chilli chicken recipe, I used eggs in marination. So now lets go to chilli chicken recipe.

10. I served this chilli chicken with Veg Fried Rice

 

Notes:
1. In seasoning, instead of chilli sauce, you can also add the tomato ketchup.
2. Try to do brining the chicken pieces the before night to make it tender and for best results of chilli chicken. If you are short of time, atleast do it for 1 hr and keep in fridge then prepare as ususal.
3. To get the bright red color to the chicken you can use the kashmiri chilli powder. If unavailable, you can use edible red colour.
4. Soya sauce already contains salt. So check before adding the salt.
5. You can avoid or reduce green chillies, when giving to children, as chilli sauce gives enough spiciness.
