Chef Wanting & Yong's Firecracker Chicken was a hit from the first day they started serving it in their restaurants. The firecracker sauce they developed combines garlicky spice with a touch of sweetness and acidity that excites with every bite. A side of fluffy Kokuho rice is there to soothe the palate alongside some fresh broccoli. This dish brings the heat!

Not enough rice imo, the chicken is cut into weirdly large pieces for a dish like this (larger than pictured) and the meat is very fatty/gristley. Could have been really good though if fixed!

Excellent dish, super flavorful and good mix of protein, veggies and rice. Sauce unfortunately is way too salty. If they could just reduce the amount of salt in the sauce this would be 5 stars

a bit spicy

It's spicy, which is fine, and the amount of chicken is great. However, there's less than a handful of rice. It needs more because it's skimpy as is, and it would also help absorb some of the heat.
Chefs Wanting Zhang and Yong Zhao grew up in Northern China, met in college in Beijing, and went to Yale for graduate school. Zhang and Yong shared a common love for the food they grew up with and missed eating authentic and healthy Northern Chinese food every day. They loved the diverse flavors of their home so much that they opened the first Junzi Kitchen in New Haven in 2015 to share their favorite dishes with their classmates and community. Since then Junzi Kitchen has been an institution beloved by Chinese and non-Chinese diners alike, eventually opening in New York City as one of the highest reviewed Chinese restaurants. Through CookUnity, they're excited to share those healthy and delicious traditional recipes with you.
