So far, I've made this recipe twice. The first time, I was more stunned than anything at the sensation of the Sichuan pepper. But we've (wife and me) been using it in other dishes over the past few weeks, so we're acclimated now. Made it for dinner this evening and loved it even more. Delicious and the spice is really great for lifting my mood after a hard day at work. Thanks for this, Marion!

This recipe on top of hot rice and an ice cold glass of beer at the end of a long work week. Nothing’s better

[@Peppersn17]

I love your KZbin videos. I’ve been looking for a chef who loves to cook Asian foods

[@JoseWolff]

loooove this dish, thanks for posting this recipe! will try it - will also add some celery slices, like they do at some restaurants in the SGV (california)

[@alvernalveigr4449]

[@indyalex42]

This looks soooo amazing.

[@waxhead63]

Just love this girl .. Marion you are the Nigella of the southern hemisphere ... great recipes 🙏

[@AndySaenz]

I just made this, it’s AMAZING! It’s totally delicious and it smells so GOOD. Thanks, Marion! I feel like a world class chef after making this. It’s very spicy but I’m Mexican so my palette is used to spicy foods, and I love how all of the other flavors are orchestrated by the chili.

[@velko67]

One of my all time favourite dishes, the spice is accumulative and addictive. I thought it was more difficult to make than this 😳, but you have made it look simple. I also like peanuts for added texture, flavour and crunch. I’ll try making it tonight 😬 Thank you ☺️

[@sheru-xw5bc]

Love it!

[@Delorian82]

Ha! mad eighties guitar outro. This recipe is bomb

[@paulac4917]

I've just discovered you and done quite a few of your recipes they are fantastic! I'm loving the hair down... hardly recognised you... first video I've seen with you looking so different. You're absolutely brilliant I'm such a fan x

[@girlgonewisej]

I bought sichuan peppercorns from an Asian grocery store a month ago but didn’t know when I was gonna use them. last night I made this with some fried rice. Very delicious, it tasted like it came from an upscale Chinese restaurant. I let my chicken sit in the marinade in the fridge for about 3 hours coz I had to be somewhere and that soy sauce and xaoxing wine made a huge difference in overall taste. Thank you so much Marion🙏

[@JesusLovesYouSoMuch1]

Looks amazing! Your channel quickly became one of my favs!! Can you do a Thai iced coffee that I can keep in the fridge recipe please?!

This looks perfect. Wish I could take a bite of your food right from my phone screen 😉

[@chaomiyang]

Keep up the great recipes! Quick question: my kids are not a fan of the numbing sensation of the Szechuan peppercorn. How do I counter this effect after I had already put it into the dish?

[@knight-encounters]

Looking good, I can smell it though my phone screen. Subscribed

[@GolDreadLocks]

I love Szechuan!

[@JovialJinx]

I had once tasted a very yummy Sichuan Chilli Fish in Washington DC, from a very authentic Chinese restaurant. Would it be advisable to use this recipe with a firm fish as well? Please advise!

[@peaceloveforever88]

good job

[@shikinsaerah]

Hi Marion. Will u make Thai dessert. I love to eat them too but don't really know the exact ingredients & steps to make it

[@liminal1909]

Look up Pailin's Kitchen on YT.

[@sarahwu5843]

Thank you so much! My family loves this dish at the restaurant. We order it every time we go out to eat. What I found is when I put the sauce in the fried chicken, it makes the crispy chicken pieces soft. Don’t know what to do about that.

[@Surferdogroxy]

add a little less or add the sauce before the chicken, reduce a bit, then add chicken. double frying the chicken also helps it to maintain crispness. good luck cooking!

[@Xtra83]

Thank you for the good looking dish! One question: You use the seeds and the shells of the sichuan pepper. If I do this, I get a chewing experience like sand (I think because of the seeds). Do I have to separate the shells and only use them? Thanks in advance!

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

I can answer that one for you. There are two ways to use szechuan peppercorns - whole or powdered/crushed. She was correct in roasting them to the point where they give off the faintest hint of smoke. At that point, remove and let cool and crush in a mortar and pestle. The crucial step she left out is to take the crushed peppercorns and sift them through a fine mesh strainer. The stuff you want falls through and the husks stay behind to be discarded. Also worth noting, the flavor from powdered szechuan peppercorns degrades really quickly, so you should only make as much as you plan on using. There's really no point in storing extra ground sichuan peppercorn since it will become noticeably muted and duller by the next day.

I really like how you said “own personal space for their transformation”

[@Gauravbhatia2]

Hi can i make without shaoxing wine ,dry sherry ?

[@HeeruJanweja]

Thanks for the recipe. I marinated the chicken and then put it in the flour mix when it was moist with the marinade, dusted the extra flour and fried it but observed the flour all came off when in the frier. Not sure where i went wrong. Any suggestions @Marion or other experts?

[@rebekahsegun8319]

Did you first coat the chicken with eggs?

[@nikagarcia5223]

[@fennibethoria7512]

Hi can i use regular soy sauce instead of light soy sauce?

[@abasabdulrahman148]

Anyone know any halal substitute for the shaoxing wine? Preferably something i can find in Malaysia’s local market

[@chromberries7329]

Chicken stock/water or some pear juice (any mild fruit juice. Pineapple works well but is strong in flavor, sadly.)

[@lesliekel682]

Hi Marion.. can i use grill chicken instead of deep frying the chicken?

[@Marionskitchen]

Leslie Kel sure! I think that’s worth a try 👌

[@mikelong609]

Do you eat the chili's?? I often wondered that when I seen some big dried chili's in a dish.

[@cheruichew1385]

I usually leave them out. You can eat the dried chillies if you want some extra heat. For me they're just a garnish and quite dry.

[@joseantoniofernandez1890]

@@cheruichew1385 thanx. I was curious too.

[@gjemilealbanese]

Hi marion what is another alternative for the alcohol? Or can u just omit it from the recipe?

[@Marionskitchen]

fisabillah Just replace with chicken stock so you are getting the right amount of liquid and still adding some extra flavour 😊👌

[@RB-hm9re]

Use chinese black vinegar as well

[@fauxsuede4453]

Can I use regural white wine instead of chinese wine?

[@samchow2788]

Plain flour or cornflour?

[@fujoshis_yaoi_trove]

Please tell me non alcoholic substitute for chinese cooking wine

[@ashishthodupunuri7162]

Hey guys, I did the receipe step by step and it was going pretty well until I bumistakely put almost a full cup of grinded Sichuan peppercorns. Now it tastes very bitter (like my tongue numbs after 2 bites 😓). I tried to put some soya sauce but it doesn’t work. Do you guys know what I can do to balance the flavour? 😄

[@natalinegloriana3430]

I like your Asian cooking style, you eye-balled the ingredients rather than using exact measurements as Western cooks do, Asian cooks trust their intuitive and cooking experience, that must be from your lovely Mom 😘

[@HowToCookWithLook]

looks yammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@chandinipremaratne6921]

Made it last night .Didn't like the szechuan pepper numbing taste much would recommend to use minimum pepper. The rest turned out perfect.

[@charlottematou5896]

Is this a take on Laziji? I have been comparing Sichuanese recipes such as Kung Pao and Laziji, but I have trouble knowing which is which (I don't know much about China). Your recipe does not have peanuts so I am wondering if it is something entirely different or not. Thank you in advance if you can shed some light on your inspiration!

[@fernandobesterei7347]

Marion you have something left for me too 😛🤐

[@leecarter2356]

The chicken pieces are huge. For spicy chili chicken 辣子鸡, the chicken should be cut into bits 鸡丁 not bites 鸡块. I understand this is not a traditional version and you would never be able to find this in China. But there are some basic principles of Sichuan cooking that should be the same. Including cut everything into similar size pieces. The scallion, chilies, and chicken should all be cut into similar sized bits. You should have simply coated the chicken in corn starch or potato starch, which will give the chicken a crispier crunch that won't soften when stir-fried. The amount of chilies is a bit low and also it would have been better to use whole peppercorns instead of the powder. Adding the sauce around the sides of the wok would also add better flavor and help to keep the breading crispier.
