The BEST Chilli Chicken

[@braedenlamont9186]

Literally searched up recipes for chilli chicken, looked for one that looked the most like federicks chilli chicken which brought me to your video and then you started talking about federicks and I instantly knew I picked the right video.

[@bushrasiddiqui3414]

I have tried SO many chilli chicken recipes and it never tasted like the one you get at a Hakkah restaurant. But this is IT! THANK YOU

[@ryancookingcaleb9756]

Grew up in Scarborough, a lot of family dinner memories at Fredrick”s. Great Recipe!Thank You.

[@stphzIRL]

I screamed out of glee when you mentioned Fredricks! I came back home to Indonesia after university, it has been 5 years since then and boy I miss this hakka dish so much! (there isn't one like it out here) Thank you for sharing this recipe! Definitely going to be a permanent addition to my at home meals. Love you!

[@sheilaparekhgray]

This recipe is soooo great! Thank you for sharing this 😊 I’m wondering if it’s possible to cook the chicken in an air fryer instead of deep frying?

[@latolathela7418]

Oh my God turned out amazing and sooo close to exactly like Federicks! Thank you! Anyone missing hakka food who moved away from the GTA needs to make this immediately. Probably using a little MSG instead of salt would make it even more identical to restaurant version.

[@6ixGuy]

I come back to this video every time i dont feel like driving to Federicks, good looking out!!

[@mavos1211]

Vijaya I am forever in your debt! This dish is literally the best dish I have ever tasted! This is exactly what I would order from my local restaurant and now I can make my own so you have saved me a fortune! Thank you so much you are amazing!

[@vijaya16]

You are so welcome! Enjoy :D

[@johnplasse2781]

You gotta be her friend

[@TruthAdv]

Can't wait to try this. Is there any substitute for the Chinese cooking wine?

[@fritzkreisler2330]

I made it! Yes it was super great and 5 impartial foodies agreed! I toned the spice down a little and used serano peppers and cooked it with two green Thai peppers but whole and not cut up. I also added a teaspoon of sambal into the chicken Marinade. It was very high caliber. Don't know if it could get any better.

[@rickdrain6783]

How many people would your chili chicken feed ? Thank you so much for your fantastic recipes

[@x-vic-x4168]

We got fredricks on Dundas in Mississauga. Same owner from Scarborough. Sizzling plate with chilli chicken, chicken corn soup, shrimp fried rice. SIMPLE BUT SO GOOD

[@Tojazzer]

Federick's! Their chilli chicken is legendary. They are still open during the lockdown. Pick-up only, of course. Call ahead.

[@hurryupnow1]

Hey I'm so confused. Can I add an egg into the pre mix? And is it corn flour or corn starch? Want to make this for Xmas but not sure x

[@Rai5ul]

Looks awesome! What's the best non alcoholic substitute for the Chinese cooking wine in this recipe?

[@PipenFalzy]

Are you allergic?

[@diyasaggar4388]

Chinese cooking wine does not exactly have alcohol it just gives it.a nice flavour

[@MA-pt6nz]

When growing up in Mumbai, I used to eat occasionally at a place called Federick in Byculla. When I later moved to Canada, one fine day while driving around Scarborough, I noticed a restaurant on Ellesmere called Federick. What intrigued me was the fact that the name was spelled the same way as the restaurant in Mumbai (Federick not Frederick). So I decided to try it. I told the waiter about the restaurant in Mumbai with the same name and spelling. To my surprise, he said it was a branch of that same restaurant. WOW! Have since enjoyed many a chilli chicken there whenever we visit Toronto. Thanks for the recipe. Turned out really tasty (I used 3 times the amount of Thai chillies lol).

[@RockerBoy20045]

I loved it! The only tip I would give is to not use *dark* soy sauce (I used Pearl River Bridge) as it turns everything SUPER dark and salty. Regular soy sauce (Silver Swan for instance) gives you the result in the video. Anyway, I was so nostalgic for this dish from my time in Canada :)

[@meghna22]

THIS MADE MY LIFE!!! I literally go from the airport straight to federicks. Grew up in scarborough, thank you for making this video!! Reminds me of home

[@fawiek]

Tried it, turned out amazing! You ever tried China cottage? It's rebranded now (Pharmacy/Ellesmere) but it's really good! 🙏 thanks

[@vikramsivaraj8328]

I was legit googling how to make FREDERICKS chilli chicken.... so THANK YOU for this video so much ☺️☺️

[@Evehamidi]

Hi there, i was SUPER skeptical about this recipe because of how simple the ingredients were. I used regular rice vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar. Still tasted AMAZING. Thank you for this. Tastes exactly like all the hakka places. Thank you thank you thank you

[@23abhirami]

Hi Vijaya, I can’t find Chinese cooking wine. Can I substitute this with something else?

[@najamaabbas]

I moved from Scarborough to Winnipeg and Frederick I miss the most. Thank you so much for making the video, can't wait to try it out.

[@lifeandliving555]

Frederick is a halal restaurant?

[@najamaabbas]

@@lifeandliving555 Yes, as far as i remember.

[@SweetandMellow999]

I just moved to Scarborough last year July. I will definitely try Fericks and your receipe. Thanks V!

[@neetapatel2899]

Can’t wait to try. Looks good . PS I believe is us/was Federicks ;D. Someone made a typo or not. Thanks for posting ... miss you on TV!

[@deborahburns8935]

This looks so delicious 😋 Thank you for sharing❤

[@fatemazeenat7818]

Cooking style of chilli chiken really easy , simple and tasty. Thank you very much for sharing the recipe.

[@shakanaakamalanathan7145]

What is the alternative of rice wine vinegar in this recipe?

[@trunbytrun]

Amazing 👌.. can u plz make more of restaurants type Hakka Chinese dishes . Thx

[@mr.ryanprice1438]

Was so good to hear you mention Fredricks :) and this looks amazing.. but I have to say, we live in london ontario.. far from any hakka selection.. so we had to hunt and make this recipe ourselves few years back.. and what we discovered was.. remember how their sauce almost looked black in colour ? the differences being..try to not add sugar.. and add cumin in the marinade stage. it gives it a depth without tasting like a curry, and the sweetness of the fried onions comes through. We still order hakka from Lin garden aswell :) awesome.. keep em coming love your channel and recipes

[@AnandSingh-oh6dk]

Hi great recipe What about ginger chicken and Manchurian chicken fried rice! Love your work

[@paulfoucault1348]

Ate Federick’s ALL the time when I worked in Scarborough. Now I live in Oshawa, and would love to replicate the chili chicken recipe. I enjoyed your video, and will be following your instructions. Their pakora was so good too. Wish me luck, and thank you for the instructions. ❤😊

[@Davidmorris157]

Hi Vijaya you are probably the girl that pushed me out of the way when I was trying to get into Fredrick’s long ago!! LOL I ate at Fredrick’s yesterday, in Scarborough, had some Chicken Pakora you didn’t mention them!! I will be cooking this chilli chicken, your way. Looks so good!! I guess yesterday will be the last day I eat at Fredrick’s.

[@user-ms8vo6dy8j]

Can I skip out on the Chinese cooking wine ? & Instead rice wine vinegar for the sauce can I substitute with red wine vinegar ? Please let me know 💕💕💕💕

[@s.j6418]

Amazing recipe, thank you! Very similar to Frederick's. For those who don't have access to rice wine, I substituted with white vinegar and it turned out delicious.

[@funnyguy55able]

The best chili chicken is at China Garden on Airport Rd. Its in the maxtel plaza in Rexdale. I've been trying for years to figure out their recipe without success. Yours is not it either but closest ive come to the real thing. Simple instructions and easy to follow. Good job!!

[@DanaWebster1]

I cannot wait to try this! I absolutely LOVE the way you show us what everything should look like before each step. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@vijaya16]

Thank you so much Dana! Can't wait for you to try it :D

[@PipenFalzy]

It would be nice if she had the measurements in the video. This way you don't have to copy it down or refer back to where she posted it in the description. I also think the measurements are off. She has way more ingredients than what's in the recipe.

[@bunkerlife5594]

Thank you very much I first was a little concerned and then you mention Fedrick’s after I heard that I felt like I was in great hands. Can’t wait to make this myself I will definitely reach out and tell you how it went

[@yoospianocafe8466]

This is my go to recipe. Just pan fried chicken without the sauce, already so good. Must try recipe!

[@johnapt7278]

I've been to Frederick's a few times. I really enjoyed the chicken pakora as well. I really enjoyed this chili chicken recipe. I will be using this as a reference to when I make it on my own. Thank you.

[@jashminpatel7989]

Hi Vijaya! I’m trying this recipe out for my fiancé and since he doesn’t want the chicken fried, can I bake the chicken bites instead? I’m a newbie when it comes to cooking meats (I’m vegetarian) and wanted to know more info! Thank you!

[@nmann8455]

Jus found your channel. Omg love all the receipes. I like your videos ..straight to the point and all those receipe u have below your videos .thank you woman !❤

[@Electriccars007]

I remember that Hakka food in Scarborough .I was just missing it chill chicken . Crispy beef beef . There is another one call Lin garden . Sheppard and pharmacy.Who knew I will end up living 15 years in China till now . Thank you for video I am going to cook it today ... hopefully this corona is done so I can come back home ...

[@thereturnfc]

Thanks for making this, i miss Scarborough already, left Canada almost 6years ago!

[@badassuchiha4875]

Girl your Chicken Tikka Masala was Phenominal & you to especially is very great at what you do

[@pb08rajput80]

I am watching from Calgary. You are Amazing cook 👌

[@yanglu9555]

Hi thank you for sharing such great recipe! So I want to say as well, I've make the tandoori chicken that you have shared from your previous blog and I tell you what...... it's amazing. So thank you so much with that as well!

[@greathelmm]

I was looking for dry version of this, thank you

[@texasaggie75]

Dang, you make me hungry!! Your recipes look so freaking good!

[@Thatsaritachick]

I can’t wait to make this! I love Federiks!

[@iainmjames217]

Hi Vijaya, I made this chilli chicken this evening. Very nice. Thanks.

[@goldwolf0606]

🇨🇳 Chinese + 🇮🇳Indian = Love ❤️ Mmm 😋 I shall call this Chindian Chicken! 😁

[@vijaya16]

Haha, I should just have you name all my videos :D

[@kingkai9818]

You know what ur talking about is Malaysian food.right?

[@archis3]

Wow you make it look so easy! Great recipe! Still waiting on your garden tour btw! 👍✌️

[@vijaya16]

Haha, if my vegetables are still thriving in this weather. I'll have to check :D

[@tinospaper2822]

Did you go to Woburn c.i??

[@vikiposidis3466]

Good old Fredricks! Trying this recipe tonight. Can't wait!

[@triciasamaroo4589]

This recipe was amazing, I just tried it. You're bang on, thanks for sharing!!!

[@buildingwithnoah]

I use to live across the road from Fredrick's, grew up eating this most my life

[@Jenintoronto]

Yup, Markam and Scarborough tings! Federicks is for a lazy Saturday night. But maybe not anymore, I'm going to definitely make this. Thank Vijaya!

[@shaz185]

Omg this looks sooo delicious!!! 🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋 What’s an alternative to rice wine vinegar and Chinese cooking wine?- I don’t use alcohol xx

[@scarletsantarosa915]

the alcohol will evaporate and cook out, you will not taste booze in your dish at the end.

[@ruksarharoon7278]

Girl your recipes are awesome!!!!!!! Thank you so much and the way you present is perfect.

[@razk1974]

This looks yum. Just a little advice is to leave the onion to stir fry a little longer enough to go a little transparent and a little brown on edge.

[@sitapatel2052]

This is just too delicious thanks for sharing your recipe. All the way from Zimbabwe....

[@saglarakitchikova4246]

This chicken is off the hook, girl! My go to now👍

[@rajmathur5624]

I just made this following your recipe and it turned out amazing! Federicks/Tangerine chilli chicken is probably my favourite dish however I’ve always had a little issue with the batter to chicken ratio you end up getting. That’s not an issue anymore now that I have this recipe! I’m a new cook so this was my first time deep frying anything! Can’t wait to try making some of the other dishes on your channel - Thank You!!!

[@vijaya16]

I am SO happy you enjoyed the recipe :D And even more thrilled that you think its better than Federicks/Tangerine! Enjoy :D

[@johnnydr4970]

YES! Fredricks is a Scarborough/Markham classic. Chili chicken is the best!

[@browndope]

Thank you I made this and it was amazing your videos are always a delight

[@KindofCooking]

Yes!!!! Federicks!! You should have seen everyone’s eyes open when you said federicks. It’s been the family go to place from childhood until now. Just had it yesterday. Grew up by the scab location and now near their Markham one.

[@rosannabheir5994]

Hi can I use corn flour instead of cornstarch.

[@farill3418]

fam Federick's Restaurant is 5 minutes away from where I live in scarborough. As a kid, my favourite dish was Garlic Chicken, but Chilli Chicken is good too.

[@kgeorge1736]

Thanks for sharing.

[@themteam]

I just made this and it’s absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing!

[@23abhirami]

I can’t find Chinese cooking wine in Austin. Can I substitute this with something else?

[@tommyjrperreault]

Can't wait to try it. I miss Scarborough food.

[@jonih6809]

I just made this tonight and it was sooooo good! The only mistake I made was using a ghost pepper!! Whew was it hot! I knew it would be too hot as soon as I started cooking the garlic/ginger/chili/onion mix and couldn't breath cuz my lungs were on fire from just breathing the steam from the ghost pepper lmao. So I doubled the sauce ingredients and added extra sugar, so I did tweak it a bit to make up for the heat level. But it had a really great balance of flavors and I couldn't stop eating it! Next time I will def use a different chili or half of a ghost pepper! Thanks for another great recipe Vijaya!!

[@nimitaw1167]

This recipe works with the air fryer too!

[@gregjarvis2239]

We used to live just down the street from Fredricks! I haven't had it in such a long time! Gonna try my hand at it tonight though!! : ) Where would one buy the Chinese cooking wine? And are you allowed to say the brand you use? If this comes out half as close as what Fredricks produces, this will be a weekly staple in my menu! : ) Thanks for the vid!

[@SweetandMellow999]

You can get Chinese cooking wine at the Asian supermarket near Kennedy and Lawrence, the place name is Lone Thai Supermarket. Ask the staff for Chinese cooking wine, then grab a brown bottle with red labels. Shao Shing cooking wine.

[@makeupcz1]

Hey Vijaya, this recipe is wonderful but quick question. You wrote dark soy but it looks like regular soy sauce. Generally dark soy sauce is much darker so my dish came out quite dark. Did you mean to say regular soy sauce?

[@prit402]

I had Fredricks once and it was horrible...... I hated their Chilli chicken, I don't know if its because Im used to the style of chilli chicken they make at Hakka Legend . The best Chilli chicken I have had in my life hands down goes to China Garden and Fayles. Im excited to try yours as it looks different but delicious!

[@naibydino2624]

Where can I buy the Chinese Cooking Wine?

[@maddiekik7132]

Ayyyeeeeeee Fredricks represent!

[@griffithshandmade-knives]

Great video! And Thank you! Now…Okay props to the Fredricks’ fans out there. But if we are talking Chilli Chicken in Scarborough, sorry, the crown belongs to Lin Garden Restaurant at Shepard Ave & Pharmacy 👌

[@ajithselva178]

Thank you very much! Got my Frederick's fix during quarantine!!!

[@shakanaakamalanathan7145]

I tried this today, but used red wine vinegar instead of chinese cooking wine and rice vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar. It still turned out great. Your recipes r awesome just what I expected to see❤️❤️❤️

[@btsjkforever2030]

Is there an alternative to frying it ??

[@SaintsUp1]

Frederick's...... Scarborough tingz

[@mahadevasivatheepan2286]

Good presentation keep bring more items!

[@SafA-bi8fn]

if I leave the chilis whole would it be less spicy?

[@jamiladoncher2724]

Omggg! I’m so happy I came upon your channel! I’m from Scarborough too, and I’m craving Chili Chicken from Federick’s!!! So you know EXACTLY the result I’m looking for! I hope your recipe is very similar!

[@rexcountry9969]

Man you made my day I been looking for this to do it my self for ages lol great work

Wow, what an awesome recipe! Thanks so much! This tastes better than Chung Moi and Tangerine combined!

[@vijaya16]

Glad you like it!

[@JohnBROWN-um7jt]

Can’t wait to try this one!!

[@scarletsantarosa915]

Federick's is the bomb!

[@BruceCanales]

Great recipe! I just made it. I like using Sambal Oelek in my chili chicken but I found a great chili oil recipe ( Chiu Chow ) from "My Name is Andong". It made it perfect!

[@lorirodriguez2388]

I want to try this

[@kingtracker184]

wow girl this is the best

[@MrBackshotas]

Lol "Frederick's eat your heart out" that's a pretty bold statement but I think your recipe qualifies. Looks delicious!

[@victorumansky8908]

Luv your presentation- spicy and funny.

[@mavos1211]

Hi Vijaya! I just want to say I haven’t see the video yet I am going to settle down later to enjoy it when there is peace and quite but I just wanted to say I instantly fell in love with the thumbnail..... I can’t wait to try this one x

[@vijaya16]

Thank you so much! Can't wait for you to try this recipe. It's one of my faves :)

[@shakane7]

Is there another way I can cook the chicken without deep frying it
