Creating Salt and Pepper Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Coat Chicken: Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in cornstarch, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Fry Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, frying them until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add minced garlic, chopped green onions, and sliced chili (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Combine: Return the fried chicken to the skillet, tossing it with the sautéed aromatics to coat evenly.
7. Serve: Transfer the Salt and Pepper Chicken to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro.

These steps will guide you in making this incredible dish effortlessly.
