Pepper Chicken

                                            Chicken pepper fry

This is quick and easy recipe yet so delicious. Enjoy this spicy chicken as a starter or serve as sides. To get the best aroma use freshly ground black peppercorns or heat the required amount of pepper powder, as spices give inevitable flavor when heated just before use. You may substitute half tsp pepper with half tsp crushed pepper corns.
