Steamed Chicken&chili sauce(口水鸡)

Steamed Chicken&chili sauce(口水鸡)

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken thighs (2 servings)
• 1/2 cup pepper powder (I used Korean chili powder, color looks bright and nice, and not too spicy)
• 1/4 cup Sichuan  peppercorns (optional if  you can't eat too spicy, but I would recommend)
• 1/2 cup crushed peanuts
• 1/4 cup white sesame seeds
• 4-5 garlic chopped
• some green onions chopped or cilantro chopped
• 1/4 cup of cooking wine
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil 
•  ice water
• 1/2-1 cup oil depends how big the chicken thighs

Directions:

Add cooking wine in the boiling water, and cook the chicken thighs for 8-15 minutes, depending how big is the chicken thigh. Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, you can prepare the sauce. Heat the cooking oil in the pan, turn off the heat before the oil gets smokey. And let it sit for 2 minutes. Get a large bowl, put the chili powder, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, sesame seeds into the bowl, and add the oil in there. Stir well then add salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. 

Now take the chicken out and put them into the ice water, let it chill for few seconds, then chop them into half inches, or any bite sizes you prefer. Put them on the plate and pull over the sauce, sprinkle the crushed peanuts and green onions or cilantro. Enjoy! :)
