## What Is Hunan Chicken?
Hunan Chicken is a classic Chinese dish named after the Hunan Province in Southern China, which is known for its spicy cuisine. The dish is usually made with white-meat chicken that is stir-fried with a sauce made from garlic, ginger, chili paste, soy sauce, sesame oil and sometimes a little sugar or vinegar. It is one of the most popular dishes in Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed at home or in Chinese restaurants.

## Origin Of Hunan Chicken
The origin of Hunan Chicken is unclear, but it is likely that the recipe was created in the mid to late 1800s, during the era of the Hunan Revolution. This period of revolutionary unrest was known for its radical social change, with new ideologies and cultural influences influencing the nation. One of these influences was the rise of traditional Chinese cuisine, which included the dish now known as Hunan Chicken.

## How To Make Hunan Chicken
Making Hunan Chicken is fairly simple. Start by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan, then add the chicken strips and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok or pan and set aside. To the same wok or pan, add a quarter cup of chopped garlic, one teaspoon of grated ginger, one tablespoon of chili paste, a tablespoon of soy sauce, and a teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir-fry the ingredients together for a couple of minutes, then add the chicken back to the pan. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, and then season to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice, and enjoy your Hunan Chicken!
