I love Chinese food…sesame chicken, general tso’s chicken, sweet and sour chicken…they all have one thing in common: CRISPY CHICKEN! During my time in quarantine I craved Chinese food so badly. I missed the fried crunch of the chicken and the thick gooey sauces that Chinese food is so famous for. So I set out to make the perfect crispy garlic chili chicken stir fry. I hope this will make you think of your best local Chinese food restaurant. And the best part of this recipe?…You can substitute just about every vegetable to whatever you have in your fridge/freezer.

Tips:

This recipe is 100% makeable without making the garlic chili infused oil, however the infused oil really adds a level of flavor that elevates this dish from a home cooked meal to something you could eat in a restaurant. Skip the infused oil if you are in a time crunch!
Substitutions: soy sauce for coconut aminos, sesame oil for vegetable oil in the garlic chili infused oil, feel free to substitute any vegetables you would like in this stir fry. Red bell pepper would be great!
Garlic Peeler : If you are still fumbling around with your garlic cloves and struggling to get the shell off…you NEED this. You put the garlic cloves in, roll it on the counter for about 5 seconds and the shell just falls off. It will save you time AND will save your fingers from smelling like garlic for the next 24 hours!
To save yourself time and energy, use a Garlic Press like Oxo’s Good Grips Garlic Press. It is very sturdy and handles easily, and the built in cleaner will save your hands from smelling like garlic after you clean it! I’ve ran mine through the dishwasher dozens of times and it still works like it is brand new!
If you are in need of an amazing saute pan, this is the one I recommend: KitchenAid Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10″ Nonstick Skillet. I don’t know about you, but if its not non-stick, I’m burning it! This non-stick 10 inch skillet is deep enough that you can simmer sauces, but is also non stick so you can cook chicken and meats with ease. Plus the non-stick coating is PFOA free! So it is safe for your family. And it is great for stir frys!
