The reason being is the way it is prepared allows you to completely control how much spice each individual plates get.

So don\u2019t like things too hot, just keep the sauce lean<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love things hot though, then we highly recommend heaping as much sauce on as you can!

This restaurant specializes in Szechuan cuisine, which is a province in Southwest China. Back in 2010 or so when we first ate this dish, Szechuan food was nowhere near as popular as it was now. So their amazing blend of spicy cuisine using the famous Szechuan Pepper was truly a taste-bud altering experience! This restaurant did an amazing version of Bang Bang Chicken which is what our recipe is inspired by<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make the perfect Bang Bang Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main steps in making Bang Bang Chicken. The first is preparing the Cold Chicken. The second is making that fiery, spicy sauce. The great news is that both of these preparations are so easy to do. In fact, other than boiling some water, there\u2019s really no \u2018cooking\u2019 involved in the dish at all!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Poach the Chicken to get it beautiful and tender<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps a less common method of cooking Chicken is poaching. It is one of our favorite ways to cook Chicken, particularly Chicken Breast, as it keeps the Chicken beautifully tender. Sometimes Chicken Breast has the habit of drying out, but not when it\u2019s poached. We\u2019ve used the poaching technique to great success in our <a href=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/index.php\/dinner\/poultry-dinner\/pulled-mexican-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexican Chicken recipe<\/a>, and we do so here too!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create the poaching liquid, combine Salt and 4 slices of fresh Ginger in about 3 cups of boiling water in a medium sized saucepan. The fresh Ginger adds a lovely, subtle flavor and aroma to the Chicken. You can also add some Peppercorns for a little bit more spice to the dish, it\u2019s totally optional<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drop the Chicken into the boiling water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Then, cover and turn off the heat, but keep the lid on. Let the Chicken sit for 30 minutes in the pot. The residual heat from the boiling water will slowly poach the Chicken. After 30 minutes, remove the Chicken and set aside to cool<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Chicken is cool enough, break it apart into long strands. The best method is to use two forks and scrape the flesh away. You\u2019ll be left with the most wonderful, tender strips of Chicken. Leave the Chicken to cool. You can refrigerate it if you like, as this is a dish that is served cold<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bang Bang Chicken elements\" class=\"wp-image-3696\" style=\"width:790px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-5.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There are two key elements to Bang Bang Chicken. Perfectly poached Chicken and a fiery, spicy, Szechuan Sauce!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the fiery Bang Bang Chicken Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No cooking is required to make the sauce. You simply need to add the ingredients into a bowl and mix well to combine. That\u2019s the kind of sauce we like making!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ingredients in the sauce are a mixture of classic, and unique Asian ingredients. The sauce consists of classic ingredients such as oy Sauce, Vinegar, Sugar, Sesame Paste, and Sesame Seeds. Along with these ingredients it\u2019s time to bring the heat! We add Chili Crisps, Chili Oil, and Szechuan Peppercorns to turn this subtle sauce into a fiery red Bang Bang sauce!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Szechuan Peppercorns are the star ingredient in Bang Bang Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Szechuan Pepper has it\u2019s own completely unique flavor profile which leaves a spicy and \u2018tingly\u2019 sensation on your tongue. It is somewhat hard to describe but it is somewhat of a numbing sensation, where your tongue feels on fire, completely alive, yet also subdued at the same time. It\u2019s phenomenal, and is what makes this dish unique<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bang Bang Chicken side view\" class=\"wp-image-1581\" style=\"width:689px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Bang-Bang-Chicken-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Firey Hot and delicious. This Bang Bang Chicken hits the spot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If your local supermarket doesn\u2019t have any Szechuan Pepper in stock then head to an Asian Grocery store if you have one nearby as they\u2019ll be sure to stock it<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assembling the dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Assembling the dish is very easy. We recommend plating individual portions of Bang Bang Chicken. Add a generous portion of the pulled Chicken into a bowl and then drizzle over some of the spicy sauce. We\u2019d recommend adding just a little bit of sauce to start and serve the remainder in a bowl on the side. The last thing you want is to over spice the dish for someone! People can add more sauce as they please based on their spice tolerance<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some added color, flavor, and texture, finish the dish off by sprinkling over some freshly chopped Cilantro and Peanuts. They add a lovely texture to the dish, and add some nice color and vibrancy to the dish<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This dish is served cold so it\u2019s always a good idea to prepare the dish ahead and keep it refrigerated until you\u2019re ready to eat. The dish can keep for a few days in the refrigerator too so make plenty and store some for later!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-pinterest wp-block-embed-pinterest\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Bang Bang Chicken\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=923730573559500681&#038;src=oembed\" height=\"939\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" ><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div id=\"wpzoom-block-details-175590313474619\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-details col-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"details-title\">Recipe Details<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details-items\"><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-0\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-food\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Servings<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">4 people<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-1\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-room-service\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Prep time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">15 minutes<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-2\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon oldicon oldicon-cook\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Cooking time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">30 minutes<\/p><\/div><div class=\"detail-item detail-item-3\"><span class=\"detail-item-icon dashicons dashicons-clock\"><\/span><span class=\"detail-item-label\">Total time<\/span><p class=\"detail-item-value\">45 minutes<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jump-here\">Bang Bang Chicken Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 lb.
