Szechuan Chicken is a bold, mouth-numbing stir-fry featuring tender chicken in a spicy sauce made with Szechuan peppercorns, dried chilies, and a savoury-sweet glaze. The signature tingly heat from the peppercorns combined with garlic and ginger makes this Chinese-Canadian favourite absolutely irresistible. Ready in under 30 minutes, it is faster than takeout and tastes even better.
