Mouth-Watering Chicken (Kou Shui Ji) is a classic Sichuan cold appetizer that lives up to its name—just looking at it makes your mouth water! Tender poached chicken is bathed in a vibrant, aromatic sauce featuring chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and sesame. The contrast of cool chicken with the warm, numbing-spicy sauce creates an unforgettable flavor experience.
