Chilly chicken
Here is yet another hot chicken favorite of My Dhaba - the chilly chicken. Chicken being the common meat we have at home, we learned that kids have a special liking towards chicken dishes when compared to goat/lamb/beef meats perhaps due to its succulent tenderness than a tough, chewy mess. :-) Any point of differences?
Chilly chicken recipe
Ingredients:
Chicken – ½ kg, boneless, cut into 1-inch pieces
Onion – 2, medium size, finely sliced
Ginger – ½ inch size, finely chopped and crushed
Garlic – 2 beads, finely chopped and crushed
Tomato – 1, big size, fully ripe, pureed; or alternatively use 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce

Black pepper powder – ½ teaspoon
All purpose flour – 2 tablespoons
Soya sauce – 3 teaspoons
Vinegar – 2 teaspoons
Salt – ½ teaspoon
Oil – 1 tablespoon
Method: Mix well the flour, chilly powder, black pepper powder, soya sauce, vineger, tomato puree, ginger, garlic, and salt. Add the chicken pieces to this marinade and marinate it covered for 2-4 hours in a refrigerator. Heat oil in a fry pan and when the oil is very hot, add the onions and saute till slightly golden. Add the marinated chicken pieces and capsicum and saute on low heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until the chicken is tender taking care not to burn the chicken pieces by stirring continually.

Serve it hot garnished with onion rings, lemon wedges, tomato slices, and/or fresh green chillies as a main entrée or as appetising snacks. Enjoy!

Hi VKN,
Tried this recipe last night after I found it in my massive search for the 'perfect' Chilly Chicken recipe. I have tried a lot of recipes from various food blogs but by far, I have to say, your recipes have been the most satisfying. The chicken was 'yummylicious'. Thank you for bringing back a taste of India to my eager soul:) Keep posting...Great recipes:)
hi i dont know much abt cooking,this chicken looks yum,but was wondering how come the chicken is so well coated without being deep fried.
Hi!
I had stopped trying new recipes for quite some time due to my complete failure to get the taste right. Didn't know if i was doing it wrong or was the recipe not good enough. But finally i got something right..i am extremely happy...your recipe is superb. It tasted really really GOOD!! I am gonna try your other recipes..Thank you very much.
I tried your recipe and my family loved it! Good one!

Great Recipe!!
What I have done differently is to first fry the chicken in hot oil ( without the marinade) then saute the onions , chicken and bell peppers separately before adding the marinade to the pan.Fry till marinade almost thickens.
mmmmm yum how delicious! thank you for sharing! x
1st time here..U got a lovely space n this is a yummy recipe..:)
Looks awesome...and healthy version too.I make chili chicken little bit differently .I should try this one out......You can check out my version of chilli chicken @ tastespell.blogspot.com
looks yummy ... did u know that chilly chicken is originated from india and not china ?
Good recipe. When i did for the first time y'day, it was a hit. Though i would to know how do you get that darkish red color?? like in your photo/sometimes like in most restaurants.
crap!
it is chilly chicken at a dhaba! shitty!!
ever since I tried this recipe, I never went searching for another "chilli chicken recipe". Thank you so much. I loved it. Thanks for sharing

I tried your recipe and it was awesome, we loved it!
Awesome.. I tried exactly the same recipe. It came so good. Good work. I like it.
It came out well,but i agree with the colour and coating doesn't come as like in the picture.
Awesome recipe... I am usually a very picky cook and choose the very best recipes.. I have been trying to find good recipes for chilli chicken and should agree that this is by far the best. I followed your recipe today and it is absolutely awesome
WOW... it tastes good and my mouth was watering how i prepared it was awesome recipe and tastes wonderful. thank you for the recipe.. ("-")
its luking yummmmmmmmmmmy I'll surely try it
Hi
I have tried this dish & it was very good & testy.
thanks a lot.
This was very good and tastes just like the chili chicken at our favorite indian restaurant.
I eliminated the green chillies and bell peppers (capsicum) and instead used 6-7 large jalapeno peppers cut lengthwise. I grilled the onions and jalapenos first for about 15-20mins on med-low heat to soften them up, then added the chicken and sauteed for about 30-45 minutes to make sure the jalapenos were nice & soft. It came out great and I'll definitely make again.
PS for others wondering the same thing as I was: 1/2kg = 1.1lbs; I also used 1 med finely chopped onion instead of two sliced and used ginger/garlic powder spices.
This is an amature recipe for chilli chicken.As already commented by somebody the flour coating will not stick to the chicken if you follow the recipe.A good chilli chicken should have nice flour coating and then covered by the sauce.I would strongly discorage anyone from trying this
Not good as chilli chicken does not get a good flour coating
Hi,my hsbnd liks chilli chickn, nw i saw dis method n gona try tomorow aftr made i wil tel u how i cookd,thanks for dis recipe.
hi i am naseeb,my hsbnd liks chilli chickn so much,so i saw dis recipe to mak tomorrow,aftr mad i wil tel u how i cookd.
Hi, I came across this recipe and it looks delicious. I am planning to make it in advance in the afternoon for a dinner party, and then heat it again before serving. Anyone have any idea about how to reheat this dish without making the chicken hard and tough? It would be almost impossible for me to cook this right when all the guests have come for the party.
Thanks.
I tried this recipe and came out excellent. Your recipe said one teaspoon of red chili powder but I used half tea spoon and still it was very hot. I used the red hili powder from indian grocery store. Did you suggest anything different type of chili powder. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Good Information. Thank you for sharing and I want to share information about Tandoori Chef which is An authentic North Indian, fine dining restaurant, Tandoori Chef offers Hackensack and the surrounding area a wonderful taste of Indian cuisine.
Great recipe. Most time consuming part was cutting all the garlic, onions, green peppers up. Would definitely recommend the 2 hours (maybe even overnight?) marination time. I think it probably makes a huge difference. Another tip is to keep stirring the chicken so it doesn't stick to your skillet and burn. This can happen easily because of the flour addition in the marinade. Since I used fresh tomatoes, I added a little less than a tablespoon of ketchup (I do this with a lot of my curries) and it added just the right amount of salt and sugar the dish needed. Also took me about 20 minutes on the stove rather than the suggested 35. Enjoy!
Thanks for your submission! I do enjoy Chilly chicken recipe and you Ingredients for made chilly chicken is so easy. classic Indian recipe books
Nice chilli chicken recipe with less amount of oil. I normally deep fry the chicken balls beforehand.I will love to try this one some time soon.
Finger lickng gud...yummmy:)

This is the best chicken chilli preparation which can be served with cocktail and other alcohol beverages. Here I must mention that your way of writing the post is very good and also very easy to understand.
