How to Make Spicy Chicken Stir Fry

  1. In a bowl, whisk together turmeric, ginger, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and brown sugar until well combined.
  2. Add the chicken to the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Set aside for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the spring onions, celery, and bell pepper into 2-inch long strips. Thinly slice the zucchini at a slight angle. Trim the ends of the mangetout.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the marinated chicken to the pan in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Stir-fry until cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Add more oil if needed.
  6. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside, keeping warm.
  7. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the spring onions, celery, and bell pepper. Stir-fry over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until softened and slightly golden.
  8. Add the zucchini and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
  9. Add the mangetout and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  10. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the lime juice and honey.
  11. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  12. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry!
