My love for chicken is unavoidable whatever preparation it may be. I and my wife Manasi have tried many chicken recipes – some from cooking shows, some from blog posts and some from cooking books as well. Our love for eating chicken has never diminished. We love to try different chicken dishes in restaurants and some we have liked and some had not been able to tickle our taste buds as we had expected. But never mind, we have not stopped trying new stuffs whatsoever.
Like how we try new chicken dishes in restaurants, we keep experimenting with various recipes of chicken. When it comes to experimenting, we try give a twist to the existing recipe and sometimes come up with something creative from our creative mind. Yes of course some goes well and some do not come out well as we would have expected it to be. But that had never hold us back in trying something new the next time.
With the zeal of experimenting new stuffs I and Manasi thought of giving a bit of twist to the well-known recipe of chilli chicken and see how it would come. Let me share the recipe with all you people.
The change or twist that we tried in the recipe was not using vinegar to marinate the chicken pieces, which did not offer the typical chilli chicken taste. I used black pepper powder instead. The other change I tried out here is inclusion of Oyster sauce while cooking and less of soya, tomato and chilli sauce. The experiment was successful making the taste a bit different.
