Cooking Tips

1. The original recipe uses chicken thigh meat. I prefer chicken breast, so I replaced it with chicken breast 2. The recipe uses Sichuan pepper oil, which can be replaced with spiced oil. The method for spiced oil is explained in other recipes 3. Peanuts can be fried by yourself, or you can directly buy ready-to-eat cooked peanuts for convenience 4. The original recipe uses chili powder. Since I didn't have any at home, I used a mixture of paprika powder and chili powder instead
