About Salt and pepper chicken

Salt and Pepper Chicken is a flavorful dish originating from Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed in both traditional and Western-inspired versions. This dish typically features bite-sized pieces of chicken, coated in a light, crispy breading or batter, and stir-fried or deep-fried until golden. It’s seasoned with a blend of salt, black pepper, garlic, and chili peppers, providing a savory and subtly spicy kick. Popular accompaniments include scallions, bell peppers, and other aromatic vegetables, enhancing both flavor and nutritional content. While the high protein content from chicken makes it a filling and energizing option, the frying process can add significant fat and calories, making moderation key for balanced eating. Lower-fat variations of the recipe can be prepared, such as oven-baked or air-fried versions, to retain the dish's bold taste while reducing its calorie density. Salt and Pepper Chicken strikes a satisfying balance between indulgent and nutritious when enjoyed responsibly.
