Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. (1 minute)
Add the finely chopped dried red chile peppers. Cook and stir continuously until they turn fragrant and slightly browned, being careful not to burn them. (about 1 minute)
Introduce the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook and stir, allowing them to soften and reduce into a thick, pulpy sauce. (about 7 minutes)
Add the bite-size pieces of chicken to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken with the tomato-chile mixture. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, turns a dark red color, and the sauce thickens and starts to cling to the pan. (10-15 minutes)
