About Dragon chicken

Dragon Chicken is a flavorful Indo-Chinese dish known for its bold spices and fusion-style cooking. It features tender, boneless chicken strips that are marinated in a blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and chili paste, deep-fried to crispy perfection, and tossed in a tangy, spicy sauce alongside stir-fried vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and carrots. While its fiery flavors make it a crowd favorite, Dragon Chicken is high in protein from the chicken and offers nutritional benefits from the colorful vegetables. However, it’s typically prepared using deep-frying and heavy sauces, which can add significant amounts of sodium, refined oil, and calories. For a healthier twist, some opt for baking or air-frying the chicken and incorporating less oil and sodium in the sauce. Popular as an appetizer or main course, Dragon Chicken represents the addictive, spicy spirit of Indo-Chinese cuisine.
