Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the chicken with ginger, soy sauces and cornstarch.
  • Searing the chicken without moving it to develop a golden crust.
  • Adding Sichuan pepper at low heat to release its aromatic oils.
  • Balancing the lemon acidity with sugar and oyster sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep a safe distance.
  • Handle knives carefully when chopping aromatics.
  • Sichuan pepper can cause a mild numbing sensation; use the recommended amount.
