Directions
Orange Chicken With Red Chilies, Szechuan Style — Dave Dewitt, This is from Dave DeWitt’s Fiery Foods web site. Dave was the publisher of Chile Pepper magazine and is now the publisher of Fiery Foods … as well as a number of books on growing, preserving, cooking peppers. The recipe is for a traditional western Chinese dish. The combination of citrus and chicken is common in this region., This made a quick and enjoyable meal for us this evening. I had intended to use at least close to the specified amounts of hot bean sauce and dried red chilies. The arrival of an unexpected dinner guest forced me to cut back on the firey stuff. Other than using Chinese rice wine instead of vermouth or white wine, I kept to the recipe in all other instances. The szechuan peppercorns and dried orange peel give the chicken a very nice citrus flavor. Thank you very much for posting this recipe. I will definitely try it again when I can increase the heat., This made a quick and enjoyable meal for us this evening.
