Sure, the classic General Tso\u2019s Chicken is not an \u2018authentic\u2019 Chinese dish, but one that has been honed and perfected in Western kitchens. But who cares? The idea of westernizing dishes for American palates has become so popular that it\u2019s a legitimate form of cuisine. Just look at Tex Mex for example! Therefore, this Authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken is a dish that successfully recreates the amazing American Chinese takeout classic that is loved by millions and devoured at scale every weekend from those plastic takeout boxes!<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"#jump-here\">Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as Chinese takeout meals go, this is probably my all-time favorite. The bold flavors of sweet, sour, and salty in the rich, sticky sauce is the perfect coating for perfectly fried pieces of Chicken Thigh. Crunchy textures are added to the dish through an assortment of Vegetables and \/ or Peanuts. Finally, a little bit of heat with some Red Chili completes the massive flavor combination of a great General Tso\u2019s Chicken<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make an Authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is such a fun recipe to make at home. To recreate those wonderful flavors that are so synonymous with Chinese takeout is a tasty and rewarding experience. The process does take a little bit of time to perfect, so we do recommend making this recipe when you have a little bit of time. So, a lazy afternoon Saturday cook up would be the perfect time<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade and Authentic General Tso's Chicken\" class=\"wp-image-4389\" style=\"width:801px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-3.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Follow this recipe to create your very own homemade Authentic General Tso&#8217;s Chicken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cooking process for General Tso\u2019s Chicken is broken out into three primary components. Frying the Chicken, making the Sweet, Sour, and Salty Sauce. Finally, the stir-frying process to bring everything together<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each step in the process is easy enough, it just requires a little bit of time and some planning ahead. We recommend getting all your ingredients, pots and pans ready to go so the cooking process will be as seamless as possible<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double Fry the Chicken for the crispiest result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to recreate the most Authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken, then you absolutely must fry the Chicken twice. The double frying method is an incredibly popular technique to yield wonderfully crispy Chicken. It is used a lot in Asian Chicken cooking, particularly in Korean Chicken dishes<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique is quite simple. Just treat it like you are a regular fried dish. Begin with creating a marinade for the Chicken (like what a typical fried Chicken brine would do). However, instead of bringing the Chicken in a Buttermilk, simply add Corn Starch and a little bit of Mirin for flavor. The Corn Starch\u2019s role is to help thicken the Chicken and provide that first layer or crispiness. Mix everything around and leave it for 20 minutes<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Twice Fried Chicken\" class=\"wp-image-4393\" style=\"width:805px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-7.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The twice-fried Chicken will be a beautiful, dark, golden-brown color and completely cooked through<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a dredge for the Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate bowl, create a flour-based dredge for the Chicken.

For this recipe we\u2019re using a combination of Salt, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and some Cayenne Pepper for a little bit of a kick<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give the Chicken a good coating in the dredge and ensure every piece is covered individually. Before any frying is done, we recommend tapping the Chicken lightly to remove any excess flour. This step will help with keeping the Oil clean as you cook. Too much Flour on the Chicken will mean more in the Oil, resulting in a slight burning \/ bitter taste to the Chicken<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken in dredge with Chopsticks\" class=\"wp-image-4394\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-8.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Using Chopsticks throughout the process will make your life a whole lot easier, we guarantee it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken Sauce is a harmonious combination of Sweet, Sour, and Salty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all good meals, but particularly those influenced by Chinese cuisine, balance and harmony in a dish is critical. When you think of General Tso\u2019s sauce the first flavor profiles that may come to mind is sweet. Yes, this is a sweet sauce, however how is it that a good bowl of General Tso\u2019s Chicken can be easily devoured without you feeling completely overwhelmed with sweetness?<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the reason for that is harmony and balance! To create a dish that is palatable from the first bite all the way through to the last, it requires counteracting flavors to balance out the prominent ones. In this case, the prominent flavor is sweetness<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Sweetness, we are opting for a combination of two main ingredients that sweeten the sauce. The first being Brown Sugar. The Sugar content of the Sauce is high, as you need enough of it to elevate the sweetness, but also to get that lovely consistency that is expected of a truly authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our second sweetener, instead of opting for Hoisin Sauce, or Molasses, we are using Ketchup. That\u2019s right! Regular old Tomato Ketchup! The flavor the Ketchup brings to the dish is a bit more mellow than Hoisin, which we find completely overpowers and dominates the flavor of the chicken. It brings a lovely sugary sweetness that pairs well with the remaining ingredients in the sauce<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic General Tso's Chicken Flavor\" class=\"wp-image-4391\" style=\"width:805px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-5.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An Authentic General Tso&#8217;s Chicken is a perfect flavor harmony of sweet, salty, and sour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balancing the sweetness with Salt and Acid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To balance out that sweetness, there is a significant level of Saltiness and Sourness added to the Sauce. Salt is added from the inclusion of both Soy Sauce, and Dark Soy Sauce. The Dark Soy Sauce adds an almost molasses like flavor, but it\u2019s prominent flavor profile is still definitely salt<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sourness, or acidity in the sauce is introduced by Vinegar. We recommend using Chinese Rice Vinegar for the dish. However, Chinese Vinegar \/ Shaoxing Wine is a suitable alternative. These counter flavors to the aggressive sweetness will produce a wonderfully balanced sauce, perfect for glazing your double-fried Chicken<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken Pieces in Corn Starch marinade\" class=\"wp-image-4395\" style=\"width:775px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-9.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Given the Chicken a marinade in Corn Starch and Mirin for 20 minutes before adding to the dredge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cornstarch will immediately thicken up the Sauce, so be prepared!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Corn Starch plays a vital role in this dish, as it is the primary thickening agent for the Sauce.

Once that Sauce hits the hot Wok \/ Frying Pan the Sauce will immediately start to bubble away and start clinging to the ingredients<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation is key, as it can be a shock to see how quickly the Sauce thickens. We recommend having your serving bowls and any toppings ready to go. Once the Sauce goes into the stir fry, immediately add your fried Chicken pieces and stir well to coat. The dish will literally be done at this point, so turn off the heat to avoid the Sauce starting to caramelize and get too sticky. You can always add a little bit of water into the Pan if it has gone too thick, or you need a little bit of time to get everything else ready to go (for instance, if you\u2019re side of Rice isn\u2019t quite done yet)<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic General Tso's Chicken Sauce\" class=\"wp-image-4392\" style=\"width:791px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-530x530.jpg 530w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-750x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dinnertimesomewhere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Authentic-General-Tsos-Chicken-6.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This sauce in this dish is thick and sticky, perfect for diving into with a big bowl of Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A free tip: Use Chopsticks for the Chicken dredging and frying step!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a little tip we\u2019ve picked up along the way for cooking with floury dredges such as this one.

The flour mixture won\u2019t stick to the Chopsticks making for a much cleaner and easier process of mixing everything together<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the shallow frying, Chopsticks are also a great tool to use. You can easily add the Chicken pieces into the hot oil (just take your time and do one at a time), and it is even easier to flip them. If you have a spider strainer this will be the ideal tool to remove the cooked chicken pieces from the Oil.

Mix well to combine and set aside for 20 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the Chicken is marinating, mix all the Sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a separate bowl combine the All-Purpose Flour, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper and 1 tsp. of Salt. Add the Chicken into the flour mixture and coat well<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double frying the Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add the Oil to a large frying pan and heat until the Oil temperature reached 350F. Dust off any excess Flour from the Chicken and place it into the Oil. Be careful not to overload the pan. We recommend cooking the Chicken in two batched<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shallow fry the Chicken for 4 minutes then flip and fry for a further 3 minutes until light brown. Remove Chicken from the Oil and place on a wire rack. Repeat for second batch of Chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strain out any excess Flour that has pooled in the pan (allow the Oil to cool first), then add Oil back into the Pan. Heat to 350F and repeat the frying process for the Chicken. Fry on each side for about 3 minutes until the Chicken turns crispy and a darkish golden-brown color. Set aside on a wire rack and immediately season the Chicken with Salt<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bringing everything together to make the General Tso\u2019s Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add the dried Chilis to a large Wok or Pot over high heat to toast. After 1 minute, add the Vegetable Oil, add the Onions, Bell Pepper and Peanuts. Stir Fry for 2 \u2013 3 minutes, then add the Garlic and Ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the Sauce you prepared earlier. Stir through to coat the Vegetables and then add the Chicken. Coat well and then remove from heat. The Sauce will thicken immediately, so this process will not take long. Serve immediately!<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can top the finished dish with Sesame Seeds and \/ or sliced Scallions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We recommend using Chopsticks to mix the Chicken into the dredge. It will be cleaner and prevent flour from sticking to forks \/ spoons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve your General Tso\u2019s Chicken with Noodles or Jasmine Rice<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5483265561586305\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7869471218\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s our recipe to recreate the famous Authentic General Tso\u2019s Chicken dish!
