General Tso Chicken is one of America’s favorite “Chinese American” take out foods. It’s delicious bite sized pieces of chicken, fried to perfection and covered with this delicious sweet, savory and sticky sauce. I love serving this dish with rice. Once you make this dish, you will never be calling for take out… it’s better! I greatly appreciate your support and love hearing from you.
