15|Take out the chicken, slice it, and prepare it for serving.

16|Heat a pan over low heat to dry roast the peanuts until they pop. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

17|Chop the green onions into segments and finely mince the garlic. Let the peanuts cool down and remove their skins before chopping them up.

18|Heat some oil in a pot to 3-4 maturity, then add the chopped green onion segments, Sichuan peppercorns, and part of the minced garlic, stir-fry until fragrant,

19|reduce the heat when it reaches about 80% hotness, turn off the fire, let it cool slightly, then strain out the hot oil.

The small free-range chicken I used was half a pound and fully cooked in 15 minutes, but its skin was still slightly soft.

Although it's troublesome to remove the bones from chicken thighs and harder to cut than breast meat,

thigh meat has moderate fat content and a chewy texture, making it an excellent choice.
