Keep fingers tucked while cutting raw meat to prevent accidental cuts.
Cut 2 pieces of chicken breast into roughly 3x3 cm cubes.
Watch out
Cut chicken breast into evenly sized cubes, otherwise they will cook unevenly, leading to overcooked or raw spots.
Place diced chicken in a bowl, add sugar, 0.25 tsp salt, 1 tsp rice wine, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp XO soy sauce paste, mixing well; then add 1 tbsp water and massage until fully absorbed, mix in 1 egg white, and finally add 1 tbsp cornstarch to coat evenly.
Watch out
Cornstarch must be added last
adding it earlier seals the meat pores and prevents it from absorbing water and seasonings, resulting in dry chicken
In a cold pan, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, warm over low heat until fragrant, then add 30g dried chili peppers and sauté until darkened and fragrant. Strain out the chili oil and spice solids separately for later use.

Peppercorns and dried chilies must start in cold oil on low heat, otherwise they will quickly burn and turn bitter.
Be careful when adding meat to hot oil to prevent oil splatters and burns.
Pour about 200ml cooking oil into a pan and heat to 170°C. Add the marinated chicken cubes and shallow-fry on high heat until cooked through and golden brown. Drain using a strainer.

Do not lower the heat while frying
keep high heat to seal in juices and sear quickly, otherwise the chicken will absorb oil
In a hot pan, stir-fry 5 minced garlic cloves, 3 fresh red chilies, and the infused chili oil until fragrant. Add fried chicken and toss over high heat. Add 1 tbsp water, fried dried chilies, 1 tbsp XO soy sauce paste, 50g garlic peanuts, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp rice wine, stir-frying until coated. Finish with 3 chopped scallions and a drizzle of chili oil, toss quickly, and plate.
