Description

Szechwan Chicken is a hot and spicy chicken stir-fry dish influenced by the bold flavors of Sichuan (Szechuan) cuisine from China. In the Indo-Chinese version, tender chicken strips are marinated, lightly fried, and then tossed in a sizzling sauce made with red chili paste, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar.

The signature Szechwan sauce gives this dish its deep red color and distinct aroma—it’s tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet, creating a perfect flavor balance. Crunchy vegetables like bell peppers and onions are often added to enhance the texture and color.

Served dry as a starter or with gravy as a main course, Szechwan Chicken pairs well with fried rice, noodles, or even steamed rice. It’s a must-try for spice lovers and a popular choice at street stalls and Indo-Chinese restaurants across India.
