Instructions
MADE WITH EASE!
- Making my recipe at home is easy and only takes about 25 minutes. Every ingredient is available, and I provide alternatives where necessary. I'm going to swiftly walk you through the steps of making General Tso's Chicken with photographs and a video.
DO NOT DEEP FRY!
- This recipe does not call for deep frying! This chicken is flat-fried in vegetable oil. Of course, you can also use one air fryer. The recipe card below explains how to achieve this.
JUST CORNSTARCH, NO BATTER
- I repeat: no sloppy batter! Chicken cubes are just dusted with cornstarch. If you carefully follow my instructions, this should produce a chicken that is crispy and golden.
How to Prepare General TSO’s Chicken Recipe Yummy
- Ginger, garlic, and pepper are required to prepare the sauce or marinade. Before incorporating the Sauce, these are sautéed till golden.
- Mix the sauce or marinade first.
- This is done in two steps. First, combine all the ingredients—sugar, chicken stock or broth, and corn flour or cornstarch—and use a portion of this mixture to marinate the chicken. NEXT, combine the remaining ingredients to form the dish's final Sauce; we don't want the sugar, stock, or corn flour in the marinade for the chicken.
Chicken Recipe
- For the chicken, you'll need 2 teaspoons of the marinade you made earlier, and some garlic and ginger to season.
- Instead of being coated in a batter like honey chicken or other chewy Chinese chicken dishes, chicken is drizzled in cornmeal or cornmeal for a crispy texture.
- Chicken is softer and easier to cook than pork, so it's very similar to making crispy sweet, and sour pork.
- The best chicken is boneless, skinless thighs since they maintain their juicy texture even if you slightly overcook them (which is simple to do if you're a novice fryer). See the recipe notes for instructions on how to tenderize chicken breast or pork loins before cooking by using a little baking soda or bi-carb.
- This method offers some protection against dry, overcooked breasts common in recipes like this.
How Do You Cook Chicken?
- Chicken Marination During a 30-minute marinade, combine fresh ginger and garlic with the chicken and two tablespoons of the first sauce mixture. Adding fresh garlic and ginger to the marinade to infuse the chicken with those flavors is a nice touch.
- Use whatever method works best for you to remove excess cornmeal. I use a sieve these days. It's okay if some of the cornmeal doesn't fall through the holes in the sieve. Still, it gives you a way to get rid of most of the extra stuff and chunks that have built up in your base.
- We don't want to cover the chicken with a thick coating of cornmeal because it could give it a powdery taste and cause a lot of corn flour to end up in the oil, which flames until you scrape it out;
- Fry chicken in the oil of your choice. You can deep fry the chicken or shallow fried it, and cover the chicken halfway with oil.
- Even with only a little coating of oil in the pan, it still requires rotating every piece of chicken four to six times to make all the sides crispy.
- Remove excess coat using paper towels.

General Tso’s Chicken cooking suggestions
Serve with some vegetables and your favorite type of rice on the side. For me, such a dish goes perfectly with a ginger-mashed cucumber salad. If that’s not possible, try fresh salads, leafy greens, or steamed vegetables with your trusty Asian sesame dressing.
