Fantastic Fakeaway with egg fried rice. Added a tablespoon of Gochujang to the sauce for a bit of extra depth and a wicked bit of spice.

First recipe I’ve tried. Glad my 9 year old son got involved chopping the veg to help me out. Really nice, got the chicken relatively crispy and had nice flavours. Very similar to bang bang chicken at my local Chinese takeaway.

Great recipe… chicken got crispy and golden with peanut oil but spattered a lot, anyone have a secret how to prevent that?

Sure! You can use a deeper sided pan, obviously don't add the chicken from a great height and use tongs and then keep the oil at a temperature at 160-165°C as this should help with the splattering. Peanut oil is a good one as it has a higher smoke point so shouldn't splatter as much as say olive oil. Hope that helps!

Made this tonight instead of getting a takeaway - super tasty but probably took more like 35/40 mins. Chicken wasn't particularly crispy, wondering if the oil needed to be hotter? Would definitely repeat though.
