Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and flour with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, tossing to coat.
- Add 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil to a large heavy-bottomed stockpot set over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels.
- Once the oil is hot, shake off any excess flour mixture from the chicken pieces and add them to the oil in batches. (See Note.)
- Cook the chicken pieces in batches, turning as needed, until golden brown and cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked chicken to the paper towel-lined plate then make the sauce.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and soy sauce to make a slurry. Set the slurry aside.
- Add the vegetable oil to a large saucepan set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chilies, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the rice wine vinegar, hoisin, brown sugar, chicken stock and sesame oil.
- Stir in the slurry, bring the sauce to a simmer and cook it until it thickens to the consistency of syrup, about 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat.
- Serve the chicken topped with scallions.
- You can test if the oil is hot enough by adding one piece of the chicken to the pan. If it bubbles and floats, the oil is the correct temperature.

GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN RECIPE - TASTE OF ASIAN FOOD
From tasteasianfood.com
- Prepare the chicken. We use only boneless chicken thighs in our General Tso’s Chicken recipe. Chicken breasts meat is not the best because it is dry, and the texture is tougher than the thigh meat.
- Constitute the marinade. The marinade comprises five ingredients: egg whites, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, and cornstarch. Let’s look at the reason why we use these ingredients to marinate the chicken meat.
- Deep-fried the chicken meat. Coat with a unique flour mix. Coat the chicken meat with our special flour mix before deep-frying to create a crispy coating.
- Formulate the General Tso’s sauce. The next step of this General Tso’s Chicken recipe is to coat the fried chicken with thick and spicy sauce. The sauce is the extension of the marinade.
- Coat the chicken with the sauce. Now we come to the final step of this recipe- coat the chicken with General Tso’s Chicken sauce. To do this, you need to get ready four ingredients – chopped ginger, chopped garlic, chopped scallion, and dried chilies.

- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and egg white. Toss to combine and set aside while you chop the vegetables.
- Mince the garlic and ginger and chop the scallions. Separate the scallion whites from the greens and set aside greens for garnish.
- Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, ginger, garlic and scallion whites. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sriracha, and hoisin and whisk to combine. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and whisk sauce until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes. Once thickened, turn heat to low and keep warm while you make the chicken.
- Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches to prevent sticking, add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil then half of the chicken pieces. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until browned on the edges. Flip chicken and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside on a plate and add the remaining oil and chicken as directed.
