1\u00bd lbs (about 700 g) boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite\u2011size pieces<\/p>\n
2\u20133 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1 thumb\u2011sized piece fresh ginger, minced<\/p>\n
1 small onion, sliced<\/p>\n
1 bell pepper or banana peppers, sliced<\/p>\n
2\u20133 tbsp vegetable oil<\/p>\n
1\u20132 tbsp white or rice vinegar (for tanginess)<\/p>\n
1\u20132 tbsp soy sauce<\/p>\n
2\u20133 tbsp tomato ketchup or chili sauce<\/p>\n
1\u20132 tsp chili flakes or hot chili sauce (adjust to spice preference)<\/p>\n
1\u20132 tsp sugar (to balance heat and tanginess)<\/p>\n
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, tomato or chili sauce, chili flakes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15\u201320 minutes. Devilled chicken is known for its bold, spicy, and tangy sauce.<\/p>\n
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium\u2011high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they start to brown and crisp on the outside.<\/p>\n
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and cook for about 1\u20132 minutes until fragrant.<\/p>\n
Add the sliced onion and peppers to the pan and saut\u00e9 until vegetables begin to soften.<\/p>\n
Pour the remaining marinade into the pan and stir continually until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the chicken and veggies. Adjust seasoning with more vinegar or sugar if you like it tangier or slightly sweet.<\/p>\n
Cook for another 2\u20133 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce is glossy and aromatic.<\/p>\n
Serve hot with steamed rice or as a bold main dish with noodles.<\/p>\n
