This Chinese Garlic Chicken is a popular Chinese recipe that everyone will love this flavor. This tastes super delicious when served with rice, roti, naan, and noodles.

Indian restaurants always have a special place for these Asian recipes in their menu card. In India, the authentic Chinese dishes are customized to suit the Indian palate. And hence, there might be a vast difference between the original and the Chinese dishes in India. The same fact applies to this Chinese Garlic Chicken recipe as well.

Serving suggestions

  • This Chinese garlic sauce is humble and perfectly pairs up with any dish.
  • It can be an excellent appetizer to start the meal or works fine as a side dish. When served with this sweet and hot Chinese garlic chicken, your main dish becomes a fancy meal.
  • The main meals like rice and noodles will get an instant facelift; I strongly suggest trying this world-popular Chinese garlic chicken.
  • And to add more, it also tastes great when served with Indian bread—no doubt why this recipe became popular in India quickly.
  • The Indian restaurants serve this with paratha and naan.
  • And simple rice would be the ideal match.
  • If you prefer higher fiber and protein, consider serving it with brown rice or quinoa.
  • Any mild main course is a brilliant blend you can always expect when serving Chinese garlic chicken stir fry.
  • For those who prefer low-carb meals, cauliflower rice and broccoli rice is the ultimate variation.
  • Serving with a big bowl of vegetables is a healthy choice. Steam a big bowl of broccoli, carrots, and green beans for this. This vegetable teams up remarkably. This combo pops up in my mind if I think of genuine meals.

How to make this family-friendly?

I know it is tough to serve a new dish for everyone in the family. Where each has a different taste, choosing and making the one recipe that suits them is always more challenging.

This recipe of Chinese garlic chicken has become popular among families because of its adaptability to convert to suit different palettes.

  • If some of your family members are uncomfortable with this Chinese-style garlic sauce, serve them with the fried chicken alone. To do this, reserve some fried chicken before adding to the sauce.
  • If this sauce sounds overpowering, you can mellow it down by serving it with rice.
  • No matter what you choose as the pairing dish, this tastes DELICIOUS.

Variations that you could try

  • If you make it for the party or potluck, dip the chicken pieces in more garlic sauce. The sauce, which is so much easier to make, increases the quantity of the dish in no time.
  • For thicker and larger quantities, adjust corn flour/starch.
  • You can also be substituted with mushroom, paneer, and deep-fried cauliflower in the recipe for Chinese Garlic Chicken.
  • For the heat, add more green chilies.
