   Heat oil in a pot, add a small handful of Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and about 10 rock sugar pieces. Stir-fry until the rock sugar melts and caramelizes the chicken. Then add 2 3 of dark soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of Pixian chili bean paste, and continue stir-frying. When it's almost done, pour in a whole can of beer, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then add a little boiling water to cover the chicken.
