Directions:

In a bowl, toss the chicken with the blend.

Heat 2 Tbl oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering and very hot. Add chicken; cook stirring constantly, until pieces have separated from each other and chicken is just cooked through 3-5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.

Return wok to heat over high; add remaining 1 Tbl oil. Add scallion, ginger, peppercorns, chiles, and garlic; stir fry until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Return chicken to wok; stir to combine. Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, dark soy sauce, wine, and potato starch; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and thick, about 1 minute. Add peanuts, toss to combine. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.

*Dark soy sauce is in Chinese cuisine; dark soy sauce is a dark-colored soy sauce used mainly for adding color and flavor to dishes. It is richer, slightly thicker, and less salty than other types of soy sauce. It is also aged longer.
