It takes almost same time as battered and fried chicken (staple Chinese take-out cooking technique) but chicken comes out super moist. almost soft like silk.

Panda Express Black Pepper Chicken is marinated ginger soy chicken, in a peppery black pepper sauce with celery and onions that tastes exactly like the Panda Express version you love!

And really low in fat and WW points!

This is my first post of the new year and it seems only fitting that it is a Panda Express recipe copycat.

Black Pepper Chicken instructions

Cut the Chicken Breast in any shape you like (Stripes/Diced/randomly).
Prepare a Bowl/Container, mix all the Popcorn Chicken Seasoning with spoon or by hand..
Take 3-5 tbsp of the Popcorn Chicken Seasoning into another bowl/containter and add 10-20 tbsp of sparkling water. Consistency must be medium, not runny and not thick..
Prepare the pot / pan for deep frying in medium heat (160C).
Give the chicken a nice coating: Flour - Liquid - Flour - Liquid - Flour (2 times coating).
Test with a drop of liquid seasoning on the hot oil, if it suddenly bubbling then it’s good to go.
Wait until the edges turn into a nice brown color then flip it over.
After the cooking is done, rest them on the paper towel so it absorbs the oil..
TIPS 1 : Do it tidy and it is not going to give crispy curls. Just do it quick, i like to just throw it here and there and it’s going to give that crispy texture..
TIPS 2 : Don’t squeeze the Chicken on the seasoning too hard. Best to shake it if you have container.
Sauce : minced the garlic, cut the red pepper, onion, and chili into your desired cutting.
Heat the pan in medium heat with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil.
Put the minced garlic into a pan until it turns into slightly a nice golden color then add chili, onion, and red pepper.
Give it a moment then add the rest of ingredients, except the water and water + corn flour..
Give it a moment, then add water. Give it a taste, and do corrections.
Add the mixture of water + cornflour into the pan, keep stirring thoroughly until it thickens..
Now the food is ready, Me and David like to serve them with rice. Bon appetite :).

Place cornstarch in a small bowl and begin to dust chicken pieces, shaking off excess.

Remove oil from wok and discard.

Black pepper chicken is a delicious Chinese inspired dish popularized by American Chinese restaurants.

While many black pepper chicken dishes Americans love aren't traditional Chinese cuisine (American style Chinese food is thicker, has more sauce, and tends to combine ingredients not usually combined in regional Chinese dishes , the dish has become a staple on many Chinese restaurant menus.

Heat up a pan or skillet and add the oil.
