firecracker chicken
Explosive flavor dish
Firecracker chicken is a dish of crispy fried chicken pieces coated in a spicy-sweet sauce, typically featuring chili flakes, garlic, and brown sugar.
The name suggests explosive heat, though most versions balance spice with sweetness.
Popular in American Chinese restaurants and as a home recipe: I ordered the firecracker chicken extra spicy.
