History

Dragon Chicken is a modern Indo-Chinese dish that has gained popularity in Indian restaurants specializing in fusion cuisine. While not a traditional Chinese dish, it is inspired by Sichuan (Schezwan) flavors, known for their bold use of spices and aromatics.

The dish was likely created by Indian-Chinese chefs looking to combine crispy-fried chicken with a sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce. The addition of cashew nuts and bell peppers adds an Indian twist, making it a unique and delicious fusion dish.

Today, Dragon Chicken is a crowd-favorite appetizer, loved for its crispy texture, rich flavors, and addictive spice level.
