METHOD:
Marinate chicken with chilli sauce, soya sauce, pepper powder and vinegar. Set aside for at least 45 minutes. 2 hours is best. Meanwhile you could chop your onions, bell pepper and make the sauce ready for seasoning.
Sprinkle the flours on the chicken along with salt and mix well. Add chili powder. If you wish to use egg, you can add it now. Mix well.
Prepare the sauce .Add ¾ tbsp. soya sauce, 1 tsp. chili sauce, ½ tsp. red chili powder and ½ tsp sugar (optional) to a bowl and mix well.
Heat oil in a pan and deep or shallow fry till the chicken is done. Keep stirring to fry evenly. Do not over fry, chicken tends to turn hard. Chicken can also be grilled at 240 C for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven.
When the chicken is cooked, drain them on a kitchen tissue.
Remove off excess oil from the pan, just keep 2 spoons oil in the pan. Add garlic fry for about a min, add onions, capsicum, spring onions, and celery and green chilies and fry till they turn slightly soft for about a minute or so.
Pour the sauce that was prepared at step 3. Let the sauces bubble up well.
Add the fried chicken, saute on high flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
