Description

Hunan Chicken is a classic dish originating from the Hunan province of China, renowned for its hot and spicy flavors. Unlike its sweeter cousin dishes from other regions, Hunan Chicken stands out for its dry heat, fresh chili usage, and a deep, savory taste.

The dish features thinly sliced chicken quickly stir-fried with a vibrant medley of vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. It’s tossed in a distinctive Hunan sauce made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, vinegar, and a touch of sugar to balance the heat. Fresh garlic, ginger, and fermented black beans are often added for extra layers of flavor.

Hunan Chicken is perfect for spice lovers and is usually served with steamed rice or noodles, offering a satisfying, fiery bite in every mouthful.
