Chinese Chefs Cook Bang Bang Chicken MUST TRY! Mum and Son cooks

This dish originated in the Sichuan province between 1920-40 and is very much a new addition to the Chinese menu, it's not so big over in Chinese takeaways and takeout's at the moment but because it's so good, it's really starting to take off. Originally this would of also of used Sichuan but we left them out of our Bang Bang Chicken recipe because most places aren't going to be using them, but totally add them if you want!
Ingredients:
The chicken
4 Chicken thighs (boned and skinned)
3 tbsp plain flour
1 large egg
1/2 tsp paprika (not smoked)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/3 tsp salt
1/3 tsp MSG
150g panko bread crumbs
Veg oil to deep fry in
The sauce
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sesame seed paste
1 tsp sriracha
2 tsp sweet chilli sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cracked black pepper
1/2 lime of juice
Garnish
Pinch salt
Chilli flakes
Fresh parsley
Chilli Chow oil

[@MrAhuraMazda]

In the US, we call this General Joe's Chicken, but I understand overseas things are called different things

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

General Joes? Never heard of that, heard of General Tso which is totally different and we’ve areadly done a video on 😊

[@SteveRayford]

You always do these premiere's when I'm in the school run 😂

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Sorry has to be the same time every week as it’s done to maximise reach, KZbin like you to publish exactly 3 hours before most of your audience are online, other wise you can loose 1000s of views, it makes no sense but it’s the way it is

[@samuelgarrod8327]

Don't drink and drive. 😂

[@RobertParslow-mc9bp]

Looks good again guys, the sauce looks amazing just making it now as we are having marinated chicken 😊

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@leestraight1952]

[@planetpayney]

Is the sesame paste just Tahini?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

No but you can use that instead it’s very similar

[@JennaFowler1]

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I love a good prawn cocktail! The best one I ever had was the first one I ever had, and funnily enough it was in a Chinese Restaurant!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

They were huge in Chinese restaurants back in the day

[@Carden125cc]

Will be making this tomorrow….looks amazing …my partner bought your 2 cook books for me for Christmas….👍

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Awesome ☺️ let know how you get on :)

[@samuelgarrod8327]

I'm having prawn cocktail (main dish size) for my tea. 😂 My friends are in Porlock next month, they'll be visiting. I watch Kill Bill 1 & 2 every couple of months or so. 😉👌

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Awesome ☺️

[@janepark284]

Just wanted to say thanks to you both, amazing recipes and last nights offering in our place was your crispy chicken with the super tasty sweet and sour sauce .. it was first class…..got enough of the sauce to feed the whole of the north of Scotland now tho.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Hahha amazing! Glad we could help 😊

[@leechatt9709]

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

[@stephenlittle7534]

Hi. Guys. Thst looks great. Could you do a large amount of sauce like you did and then put into the fridge. How long do you think it would keep. ? 😊 And HAPPY NEW YEAR. I too was born in the year of the snake. 1953. Time flies bye. Too quickly 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@lynnrushton7458]

Haha, had a prawn cocktail sandwich today! This looks yummy…..cheers chin & Choo 🙏……ps, do you have a garlic butter chicken recipe? Tried it last week at local restaurant & it was delish

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yes will add to the list to make

[@lynnrushton7458]

@ fantastic, thank you 👍😁

[@maggiemay961]

They look yummy! What do you do with the oil once you have finished cooking? Do you store and re-use?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah store and reuse :)

[@alanandjess7516]

Sesame paste.....is that tahini?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

you can use that yes :) but no we have our own paste in Chinese supermarkets but its very very similar

[@secretov1da]

Absolutely fantastic. Where can I buy cook book please

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

There only sold on our webstore www.ziangs.com

[@secretov1da]

@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thanks I found it on the kindle also.

[@sambomcl]

Bastard brilliant! Like button begged for mercy.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

😂😂😊

[@colinmills3175]

Big thanks C and C ❤👍👍 I am going to check our local take a ways for 💥 💥 chicken??? Colin Reading 🎉

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

☺️☺️☺️

[@mtbalot]

Meat has gotten expensive eh 😖I can buy a big block of firm tofu for $3CAD at Walmart. I air fry it with corn starch and put it in a Thai Curry. Any chance you could invent some Chinese dishes? I know it not popular in the UK, that would be a REAL challenge 🙏 MSG MASSIVE! 💪💪

[@carolinetaylor5594]

Can I ask when frying like this with oil in a pan/wok, do you strain and re-use oil? I always throw it out but it does seem a lot to waste.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yes we just resume it or cook with it

[@carolinetaylor5594]

@@ZiangsFoodWorkshop thanks, I guess strain, but how many uses would you I normally get?

[@PKDionysus]

Please link the vlog channel. Couldn't find the link on the main channel, thank you!

[@desertrat5782]

You two need to move to Malvern so we can get a good Chinese instead of the rubbish we got👍👍👍

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

hahah thanks :)

[@KortonOfKoldas]

Has Rate My Takeaway visited you yet? You should invite him. Will be good banter!

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

No and we don't do this kind of food anymore, since the 2022 shortage of staff we had to close our Chinese takeaway, but kept our Street food place open, which is very different from this kind of food

[@Michael-j7n9m]

Is sesame paste the same as tahini ?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Not but you can use that :)

[@macaar69]

I bought the cookbook around a month ago. Still waiting for it…..

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Was it the first one? If so as said in this video it’s in pre order, after selling out in December, and it’s not due til end March/april, check your invoice, it was marked as pre order in the photo, in the listing title, in the libation ribbon before you click on it, and a couple of times in the listing description, if it’s not a pre order email [e-mail] and they can help

[@macaar69]

@ I believe it was the second one. Thank you for the reply.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

You should of had it already, so definitely email the email address and they’ll help 😊

[@ChrisHartley-b6h]

Is the chicken served cold?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

No its hot, but you can serve it cold

[@fillistine]

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@daviddiamond2092]

Would belly pork work for this recipe??

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yes 😊

[@craigmashiter7943]

Salt & pepper/salt & pepper chicken please

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Noted :)

[@rigger314]

I'm abit like you mate. Some seafood I like and some I cant handle. I love battered fish but it has to be a good fish, hate oily fish, love scollops and squid/calamarie. I like crumbed prawns but do not like them on their own. Anything else - no thank you. I made sweet and sour chicken and unfortunately used breast and you are spot on, it is very dry and not nice at all. I'll give thighs ago next time.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LivingwithBIGdogs]

Sorry can you repeat that again? Pap what now? 😂

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Pap? I missed that

[@LivingwithBIGdogs]

@ Pap Riki or something? 🤷‍♀️😂 P.S don’t head over to our blog unless you like swearing… Naturally headed right there and “Bloody Plonker” being the worse I heard took me out 😂😂😂

[@basingstokedave4292]

if u wash ur hands on the camera your have a sticky camera.. bom bom lol hic!%

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Heneggsboss]

Chin you are painfully awkward. You seem to expect your mum to finish your thoughts and when she invariably doesn't read your mind it creates several seconds of horrendous awkwardness that transcends

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Cool story 😂

[@craigmashiter7943]

There are 2 Chiniese take aways near me . One does awful salt & pepper chicken, the other is amazing

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

It different where ever you go as it’s made up for the 90s
