Dragon Chicken - An Easy Indo Chinese Recipe

I'm a great fan of Chinese food. Whenever we go to a restaurant, we have Dragon Chicken as the appetizer and both me and my husband love it. So i just had a sudden idea today to prepare it at home. It was an Indian-Chinese version as i have used some Indian spices also, but it was tasty....and delicious!! I got the basic recipe from one of the online site, but changed it to make a new recipe with my own requirements.  
As it is little bit sweet, it will be best as a starter before meal. It will be good when served with chapattis, fried rice or plain rice or you can simply munch it as snacks......
Here is my recipe for Dragon Chicken:

 


 

Ingredients Required:

450 gm Skinless Chicken cut into pieces (Boneless chicken will be better)
1 big Onion (chopped finely) 
2 tspn Garlic (minced)
2 tspn Red Chilly flakes

2 tspn Ginger-Garlic paste
1 tspn Pepper powder
1 tspn Red Chilly powder
1 tbspn Soya sauce

  1. Marinate the chicken pieces with the ingredients as mentioned in marination section   and refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the marinated chicken in low flame till it is half-cooked.
  3. Pour oil in a pan and Fry the cooked chicken pieces till crisp and tender.
  4. In the  remaining oil in the pan, add onion and garlic and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add red chilly flakes and mix it and stir for one minute.
