Yesterday was one of those busy working days, juggling meetings, deadlines, and being a mom to two lively little boys. By the time I wrapped up my last call, my boys were already clinging to my legs, begging for something special for dinner. They’re obsessed with bold flavors, and I knew exactly what would hit the spot—Chili Chicken, a dish that’s quick enough for a weekday dinner yet special enough to make everyone feel loved.

I started by marinating the chicken—simple but flavorful. Into a bowl went bite-sized chicken pieces with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper, a spoonful of garlic paste (because garlic makes everything better), a splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of oyster sauce, and a light dusting of corn flour. While the chicken soaked up all those flavors, I had a moment to sip on my green tea and mentally switch from "corporate-me" to "kitchen-me."

Once the chicken was marinated, I heated up some oil in a pan. Frying the chicken wthe sizzle, the aroma, and then watching each piece turn a perfect golden brown. My boys were already hovering around the kitchen, their eyes widening with anticipation.

While the chicken rested, I turned my attention to the sauce. First, I sautéed colorful bell peppers—red, green, and yellow—for that sweet crunch. Then came the magic: I mixed corn slurry with garlic powder, a pinch of salt, chili flakes for that fiery kick, brown sugar to balance it out, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. As the sauce thickened and darkened to a glossy brown, my kitchen smelled like a dream.

Now came the best part—bringing it all together. I tossed the fried chicken into the sauce, stirring until every piece was coated in that glossy, spicy goodness. A handful of freshly sliced spring onions went in for that fresh, vibrant finish.
