[CH] Kung Pao Chicken Recipe?

There is a Chinese buffet here that has a Kung Pao Chicken recipe that I
just love.  I have not been able to find a recipe that produces
something similar.  The pieces of chicken have have something like a
pepper glaze on it.  The chicken has a really nice heat to it.   A long
time ago I saw a recipe that I thought might produce this, but I cannot
find it now. The chicken was cooked first and removed while the veggies
were cooked.  It seems like you would need to do something like that to
preserve the pepper coating on the chicken.

I tried this recipe:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Kung_Pao_Chicken and it was good.
The pepper was distributed throughout instead of concentrated on the
chicken, and it never really stuck to the chicken.  I like the
concentration of heat every time you eat a bit of chicken.

So, does anyone have a kung pao chicken recipe that would produce
something like the buffet style kung pao?

Thanks,

Dan
