The Chicken Pack

MR CHANG’S CHICKEN PACK — REAL UK & IRISH CHINESE TAKEAWAY SECRETS

This isn’t just a collection of recipes.

The Chicken Pack teaches you the methods used in UK & Irish Chinese takeaways so you understand how the food is actually prepared, cooked and finished.

Inside you’ll learn how to prepare and cut chicken properly, how to velvet it, how to use a wok correctly, how to get your wok hot and dry before cooking, how to organise everything before you start, and how to build proper takeaway-style sauces.

You’ll also get guides for essential ingredients, equipment, noodle preparation, curry paste, curry sauce, black bean preparation, seasoning mixes and other foundations used throughout the recipes.

The pack includes takeaway-style favourites such as Chicken Curry, Chicken Satay, Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken with Cashew Nuts, Chicken & Mushroom, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Salt & Chilli Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein and Szechuan Chicken, with more techniques and dishes throughout the guide.

I also explain the little details that make the difference — velveting, searing, keeping vegetables crisp, thickening sauces properly, preparing noodles so they fry instead of steam, using the right ingredients, controlling heat and getting closer to that proper Chinese takeaway taste at home.

There are also Mr Chang tips, food-safety guidance, preparation notes, ingredient explanations and clickable video links where available so you can watch the methods as well as read them.

I’ve spent decades cooking Chinese takeaway food, running takeaways and training chefs. This pack brings those methods together in one place so you can learn them properly and use them again and again.

Learn the methods once. Use them for life.

The Chicken Pack is designed for anyone who wants to make proper UK & Irish Chinese takeaway-style chicken at home — fresher, faster and for a fraction of the cost of constantly ordering takeaway.
