this is Chinese style chilli chicken, goes very well with fried rice(which will be my next post) and its very easy to make.

chicken                   500g (with bone)
soya sauce dark      3tbsp
vinegar                    1 tbsp
ginger chopped       1tsp
garlic chopped         1tsp
oil                            3tbsp
spring onion             2 chopped
cornflour                 1 1/2 tbsp
water                       1 1/2 cup 
green chillies            5 slit
res chillies                5 slit
capsicum                  1 chopped
mushroom                1 cup chopped (optional)

method

* Marinate the chicken in 3 tbsp soya sauce, vinegar,garlic,ginger and chicken cubes for 1/2 hr.

* Heat oil in a wok/pan, add in only the chicken pieces, keep the leftover marinade liquid aside and fry the chicken. Cover and cook for 5 minutes and fry without cover for 15 to 20 minutes.

* Add spring onion, green and red chillies, capsicum and mushroom. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

* Add 1 1/2 cup water and 1 1/2 tbsp of cornflour to the leftover marinade liquid and mix well. Pour this liquid into the chicken and cook till the gravy thickens.

* serve with fried rice and noodles

(note: do not add salt because the chicken cubes already has a lot of salt in it)
