Salt and Pepper Chicken (盐酥鸡)
One of my favorite places to eat is Taipei. Taipei reminds me of my hometown Penang, mostly because of a similar spoken dialect and the fiercely celebrated street food culture. Walk down the many small alleys and bustling night markets in Taipei, you are sure to find many great eats in a city that is obsessed with food. Salt and pepper…

I am not sure about you, but I absolutely love chicken kebab (kabab). (Previously, I was hooked on chicken kabab koobideh.)

Yes, I do! Capsicum always go well with black pepper.
Yes, you are right, black pepper does go well with capsicum.
Maggi sauce is my magic sauce!
Tuty – LOL. Yes, it is. :)
Black pepper sauce!! I like anything that comes with black pepper sauce. Love your recipe, simple yet sumptuous! Maggi seasoning… We Malaysians love Maggi seasoning!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Ellie – yes, it’s very simple. Easy and good.
Delicious! love, love, LOVE it! Im making this for dinner!
Alisa – awesome. Let me know how it goes.
Interesting post.!!
Thank you, Martine.
My mother and my gradmother used Maggi seasoning… and I do. maggi comes from france do you know? and maggi seasonning was created in 1901!
Your sauce with black pepper seems delicious! I’ll try… after holiday!
Dominique – I didn’t know that Maggi comes from France. It’s awesome!
Yeah.. I didn’t know until a few years ago when my other half told me so. Bata is also from France. :)
The taste of maggi sauce is far away from French though…but maybe that’s made for Asian cooking!
What is maggi seasoning?
Hi Barb,
This is Maggi seasoning: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J401J2
I do love black pepper, and your chicken looks incredible! Sounds great with bell pepper too.
I just made this tonight, simple but very yummy :) It is reminiscent of the Malay roadside burgers cos of the Maggi seasoning. It’s so funny, in NZ, Maggi is pronounced “May-gee”.
Hi,
what maggi sauce you used, may I know? Thank you :)
It’s Maggi seasoning sauce.
easy and easy to cook!
yummy
Correct, easy to cook and tasty.
is there something else i can use to replace maggi seasoning?
Niki – you can try oyster sauce. If not, you can skip it. Maggi seasoning just gives it an extra and slightly different flavor.
I tried this last night, and wow was it amazing!!! I love the fragrance of the onions and green peppers!! And the chicken had the perfect amount of pepper!! Even though my chicken wasn’t that pretty color of brown like in the picture, it still tasted awesome!
That’s great that you love this black pepper chicken recipe! :)
I just made this last night with the boneless skinless free range chicken breasts from Grass Fed Farms – wow, incredible! Thanks for this cool recipe – although finding Maggi sauce in my area was quite a feat, I finally found it at a specialty grocer, but none of the supermarkets had it.
wow.. actually i really don’t have the interest to cook but since i’ve search a recipe for our laboratory, gosh….. nagkaron na ako ng interest and i found it hard at first but i practiced until i think na perfect na kasi ang sarap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^ sabRoSo!!!!!!!!!!!!
kalau ada yg baru e mail kat saya
I did this last night. It was absolutely painless to make and tasted so delicious despite no maggi seasoning. However I will get one for the sake of perfecting the dish. BRAVO!
Jules – awesome. I am glad it works for you, yes, Maggi will perk up the taste of the black pepper chicken recipe. :)
Use Chicken boillon cube from shoppers, giant or any regular grocery store. It should be next to the soup and chicken broth. Same effect.
hi, I will try to cook this, today, looks very easy but yummy
Don’t know how I got onto your website but I had black pepper beef in Singapore a few years back and tried this one. I loved it and it probably won’t be the last recipe from your website I’ll try.

I tried your recipe and added the black pepper chicken into the noodles, it tasted so deliciously yummy!!
I’m wondering what the aim of the Maggi seasoning is? I’ve never actually bought a bottle despite being in Malaysia for 2 years now! This looks super and yummy too! Thanks for sharing. :)
Where can I get Maggi seasoning? I can’t find it anywhere.
You can find it at Asian stores, or online here: http://grocerythai.com/maggi-maggi-seasoning-67oz-p-511.html
My girlfriend and I looked this up at midnight, ran to the store, cooked and finished eating by 1:30 am. It was delicious! Great hands on date for under 15 dollars. Thanks a bunch

hi – do you recommend subbing maggi seasoning with oyster or hoisin like the previous poster said?
oh and p.s. – my friend just gave me your book as a gift and i can’t wait to try the recipes – including this one. :)
I live in North Dakota so we don’t get alot of things up here that others do. I have called and searched every store from Minot to Bismarck and no one carries Maggie sauce is there something else i can use?
I am doing weight watchers and I need to know how many servings are for the recipes. Did I miss this info somewhere?
