Marinade:

Sauce:
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium whie onions, sliced thick

  • 6 green and red chillis, cut into small rounds
  • 3/4 warm water 
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Maggi hot 'n sweet sauce
What I did:
  • Ground the garlic and chilies for the marinade.
  • Added that to the chicken pieces, along with the soy sauce, vinegar and lemon juice in a small container.
  • Left it in the fridge overnight.
  • Next evening, added 1 beaten egg to the chicken pieces, coating them completely. Repeated with the corn flour.
  • Cooked the chicken pieces in olive oil in a 12 inch deep skillet till lightly browned and cooked through. Pulled them out and put aside.
  • Removed all except 2 tbsp oil from the skillet. Added garlic to the pan till fragrant.
  • Added onions till soft, then added both peppers.
  • Mixed the 3/4 cup warm water with the 2 tbsp corn starch; added to the skillet till it comes to boiling.
