Hunan chicken

Fiery Chinese dish

Hunan chicken is a Chinese-American dish featuring chicken stir-fried with vegetables in a spicy, savory sauce.

The sauce typically combines chili peppers, garlic, and soy sauce, giving it more heat and less sweetness than Szechuan preparations.

Named after China's Hunan province, known for its bold, chili-forward cuisine: I'll have the Hunan chicken, extra spicy.
