It consists of small pieces of marinated chicken that are deep-fried and then stir-fried with massive quantities of dried Sichuan pepper, dried red chilies, garlic, and ginger. Originating from the Geleshan region of Chongqing, it is a staple of Jianghu cuisine (a type of Chongqing folk cooking) and is renowned for its intense mala (numbing and spicy) flavor profile.
