Black Pepper Chicken
Black Pepper Chicken features a rich aroma of black pepper, slightly spicy with a numbing sensation, and has a bright and appealing color. This flavorful dish is not only beloved by many but also widely accepted due to its moderate spiciness. What sets Black Pepper Chicken apart is its ability to effectively eliminate the gamey taste of chicken, resulting in a tender and juicy texture.
Black Pepper Chicken is a beloved dish, but many people often encounter challenges when trying to make it at home. Today, we'll share some tips to help you prepare delicious Black Pepper Chicken right in your own kitchen.
1.Which part of the chicken do you choose?
I prefer using chicken breast for this recipe. There's no specific requirement for the type of chicken meat in this recipe; the key lies in the seasoning and cooking techniques. You can choose chicken according to your preference. Chicken breast is high in protein and low in fat, making it a preferred choice for me as I manage my weight.
2.How do you prepare the chicken?
For tender and flavorful chicken, it's important to marinate it first.
First, wash the chicken breast thoroughly. Slice it open from the side, then add black pepper powder and salt. Add shredded ginger, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate for half an hour.
3.How to make black pepper sauce?
Ingredients typically include black pepper powder, black pepper sauce, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and others.
Add seasoning: Mix the boiled sauce with black pepper powder, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and other seasonings evenly.
There are various methods to prepare black pepper sauce, and specific techniques may vary based on personal taste and preferences.
4.What tools are needed?
Here, I used an oven. Choosing an oven for making Black Pepper Chicken is convenient and quick. Simply take the marinated chicken breast, add the prepared sauce, place it in the oven to bake, and it's ready to serve. The oven is an essential tool for preparing this dish.
An oven is versatile and can be used to prepare a wide variety of dishes. For those interested in cooking and experimenting with new recipes at home, having an oven can be very helpful in culinary pursuits.
5.How long should it be baked for?
Marinated chicken breast is typically recommended to be baked in a 120-degree Celsius oven for about 25 minutes. This ensures the chicken breast is moist and tender.
With these tips at hand, I believe everyone can quickly prepare an authentic Black Pepper Chicken dish. You can also adjust the seasoning quantities and experiment with different ingredients according to your taste preferences. Now, let's get cooking together!
