EASY GENERAL TSO CHICKEN
General Tso Chicken is pretty simple and everyone has their own version. This is one of my versions of the dish. Sometimes I change things up a bit by adding Ginger wine to the marinade or batter frying the chicken or making it very crispy with a heavier coating AND double frying the chicken like I do my Korean chicken wings. Please remember to taste the sauce and adjust to your liking of savoury or sweet. Hope you enjoy! Happy cooking????
