Szechuan Peppercorn Chicken

Szechuan peppercorns have a bitter, sweet chili taste and that is what makes their cooking so unique. This is a surprisingly tasty dish great for lunch. Serve cold or at room temerature. Great for using left over chicken. As pointed out in one review be careful with the amount of salt salt as the Soy sauce is very salty in itself.
