Dragon Chicken 🔥 | Make Perfect Dragon Chicken at Home | Chef Harpal Singh



I’ve made one of my absolute favourite Indo-Chinese dishes today – Dragon Chicken! Crispy fried chicken strips tossed in a bold, spicy garlic-chilli sauce with crunchy capsicum and onions. It’s sweet, spicy, tangy and packed with flavour in every bite.

In this recipe, I’ll show you exactly how I get that perfect crunch on the chicken and how I balance the sauce so it’s fiery but not overpowering. This is the kind of dish that looks restaurant-style but is completely doable at home.

Serve it hot as a starter or pair it with fried rice or noodles – either way, it’s guaranteed to disappear fast!

Let me know in the comments how spicy you like your Dragon Chicken 🔥

  1. Hi Harpal, although it's not really easy to understand your english (I'm german): your tips about deep frying the chicken is reminding me of a video I found about french fries from Refika's Kitchen. The cold frying method! (Refika was born on the isle of Cyprus, living in Istanbul.) Starting the frying process in cold oil, to allow more moisture to escape from the potato sticks, instead of putting them in hot oil, which will instantly form a crust on the outside, preventing moisture to get out. Ever since, I'm always strting in cold oil.
