Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2-3 green chilies, chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Coating: In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. Coat each chicken chunk in this mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Fry the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken pieces in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and let it drain on paper towels.
- Sauté Aromatics: In another pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped green chilies, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, chili sauce, and vinegar. Mix well to combine. Add the fried chicken and toss everything together until the chicken is well coated in the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot.
