Tip 1

The chicken breast should be just cooked through; you can test with a fork. Do not overcook as this greatly affects the texture.Some recipes say that it's okay to cook the chicken a bit longer, but don't do it; it significantly impacts the taste. You shouldn't have chewy chicken, so pay attention to cooking time.

Tip 2

If you prefer a stronger spicy and numbing flavor in the sauce, add more Sichuan pepper powder and chili oil. Of course, how much spiciness is up to your preference.
