Chili Chicken – The Perfect Indo-Chinese Fusion You Can’t Resist
When you think of spicy comfort food with bold, sizzling flavors, Chili Chicken is bound to come to mind. A delightful fusion of Indian spices and Chinese cooking techniques, this dish is one of the most beloved items in Indo-Chinese cuisine. Crispy, juicy chicken pieces tossed with bell peppers, onions, and green chilies in a tangy sauce—what’s not to love?
At Delhi Indian Cuisine in Las Vegas, our Gluten-Free Chili Chicken is a crowd favorite. Marinated, flash-fried, and wok-tossed in a zesty garlic-soy sauce, this dish is perfect as a starter or a flavorful main course. Whether you’re craving bold bites during lunch or something fiery for dinner, Chili Chicken is an unbeatable choice.
What is Indo-Chinese Chili Chicken?
Indo-Chinese cuisine was born from Chinese immigrant communities in Kolkata, India. Over time, traditional Chinese dishes evolved to include Indian spices, resulting in a spicy, savory fusion that locals instantly fell in love with.
Chili Chicken is the poster child of this culinary blend. It features:
- Boneless chicken marinated with spices and cornflour
- Deep-fried until crisp
- Tossed in a wok with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, green chilies, onions, and bell peppers
- Garnished with spring onions or cilantro
It comes in two styles: dry (great as an appetizer) or gravy (served with rice or noodles).
Why Our Chili Chicken Stands Out
At Delhi Indian Cuisine, we prepare our Chili Chicken with authentic Indo-Chinese methods using gluten-free ingredients, so you get all the flavor with none of the worry. Our chefs use tender thigh meat for maximum juiciness and ensure that each bite carries just the right amount of heat and tang.
It’s:
- Spicy but balanced
- 100% Gluten-Free
- Infused with garlic, ginger, and soy
- Packed with colorful veggies
- Ideal for solo cravings or group sharing
How We Make Chili Chicken – Step by Step
Step 1: Marination
Tender chicken cubes are marinated in a mixture of:
- Cornstarch (or gluten-free flour blend)
- Black pepper
- Ginger-garlic paste
- Soy sauce
- A hint of chili powder
Letting it rest for at least 30 minutes ensures every bite is flavorful.
Step 2: Frying
The marinated chicken is shallow-fried or deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. The outer layer locks in the spices, while the inside stays juicy and tender.
Step 3: Preparing the Sauce
A wok is heated with sesame oil. We toss in:
- Chopped garlic and ginger
- Sliced onions and bell peppers
- Green chilies (for that fiery kick)
- Gluten-free soy sauce, vinegar, and a dash of tomato ketchup
Step 4: Toss and Serve
The fried chicken is added to the wok and tossed quickly over high flame to coat every piece in the savory, glossy sauce. It’s garnished with spring onions and served piping hot.
