These Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps are the perfect copycat version of the popular Joey restaurant appetizer! Classic ...

But those craving the mouth-numbing sensation of Szechuan peppercorns should opt for the chong qing pepper chicken, aka laziji, small chunks of crispy deep-fried chicken loaded with plenty of heat.

It's wrong to lump all Asian chicken dishes under the same umbrella. Szechuan and Hunan chicken are two vastly different Chinese poultry entrees.
