Steps:

• With knife held in slanting position, almost parallel to cutting surface, cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• In medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, ginger, sugar, and crushed red pepper; add chicken, tossing to coat.
• In wok or large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Add green onions and red and green peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
• With slotted spoon transfer vegetables to bowl.
• Increase heat to high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; heat until very hot.
• Add chicken mixture and stir-fry until chicken looses its pink color throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. (I suggest cutting one of the larger pieces to make sure it is cooked through.).
• Return vegetables to pan; heat through.
• To serve, transfer chicken and vegetables to warm platter and sprinkle with peanuts.

Steps:

• Fry the Sichuan peppercorns in the oil for 15 minutes. Discard the peppercorns, and reserve 4 1/2 tablespoons of oil for this recipe. (Save remainder for another purpose.)
• Skin and bone the chicken, then plunge it into boiling water and simmer till just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips 3 inches long.
• Combine the peanut butter and sesame oil till smooth. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the cilantro.
• Add 2 teaspoons of the red pepper flakes and then taste, adding up to 2 more according to your tolerance. Then add as much of your newly made Sichuan oil as necessary to make a sauce that isn't overly oily.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter, spoon the sauce over it and sprinkle the cilantro on top. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Stir together cornstarch, soy sauce, cooking wine, cayenne powder and 1/8 tablespoon salt in a bowl. Add chicken and toss. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 to 2 hours or refrigerate up to overnight.
• Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Soak wedges of russet potato in cold water for at least 15 minutes, then drain. Dry well, then deep-fry until pale golden. Set aside.
• Deep-fry string beans until slightly softened and top layer of skin is slightly blistered. Set aside.
• Deep-fry marinated chicken until golden brown. Set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat and add ginger, garlic, green onion, dried chile peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to infuse with the oil. Turn heat to medium-high and stir back and forth for about 15 seconds.
• Add the chicken, potatoes and string beans, flipping the wok a few times after each addition. Once the infused oil and aromatic ingredients are well incorporated with the chicken, potatoes and beans, sprinkle with black and white pepper and the remaining 1/8 tablespoon salt. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, dark soy and cornstarch. Whisk to blend well, and add the chicken to the sauce. Toss to evenly coat the chicken and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, stock, chili garlic sauce and sugar. Stir to combine and set aside until ready to use. Place a wok over high heat and add the vegetable oil to the pan. Swirl the wok to be sure to coat well with the oil. Add the ginger, garlic, green onions, dried chilies and jalapenos to the wok.
• Cook, stirring often until the garlic is fragrant and the chilies begin to brown, about 20 to 30 seconds. Add the chicken, bell peppers and onions to the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is no longer pink, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil, being sure to toss well in order to coat all the chicken and vegetables evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the sesame seeds, sesame oil and cilantro into the pan and toss to combine. Remove from the heat and serve on a platter with steamed white rice.

Steps:

• Place the chicken and cornstarch into a bag or bowl, and toss to coat. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces and garlic, stirring constantly until lightly browned. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water. Cover, and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the green onion, and cayenne pepper, cook uncovered for about 2 more minutes. Serve over white rice.

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
• Stir together Sichuan peppercorn powder, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, and paprika in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pour flour in a shallow bowl. Stir together eggs and water in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.
• Dredge chicken tenders in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip tenders in the egg mixture, and then in the bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on a plate and set aside.
• Heat about 1/2-inch vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until oil has a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry chicken tenders in batches, flipping as needed, until they're golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Check oil temperature in between batches so make sure it's back up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before frying the next batch.
• As soon as each batch is fried, immediately season chicken tenders with Sichuan powder mixture on both sides to suit your taste; the more, the spicier.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Toss the chicken in 1 tsp salt and the baking powder - this is the secret to getting crispy skin! Put the wings on a wire rack set over an oven tray. Bake for 30 mins, turning halfway, then turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 20 mins more.
• Meanwhile, toast the peppercorns and chilli flakes until fragrant, about 2 mins, then grind using a pestle and mortar. Tip into a saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients apart from the chopped peanuts and chilli flakes. Whisk to combine, then cook over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until thickened and bubbling. Set aside.
• Take the chicken off the rack and tip onto the tray, then coat in the glaze. Return to the oven for 5 mins until bubbling and sticky. Serve the chicken scattered with the peanuts and chilli flakes.

Steps:

• Toss chicken with cornstarch. Heat dressing in large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 to 4 min. until chicken is no longer pink. Add yellow onions and garlic; cook and stir 3 min or until onions are tender.
• Stir in water, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar; cover. Simmer on low heat 2 to 3 min. or until chicken is done. Stir in green onions and pepper.
• Top with nuts before serving.
