General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's Chicken is a well-known Chinese-American dish that tastes sweet, savory, and just a little spicy. It has pieces of crispy chicken tossed in a sour sauce made from honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and hoisin sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces


• 1/4 cup cornstarch


• 3 tablespoons soy sauce


• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar


• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce


• 1 tablespoon sesame oil


• 1 tablespoon honey


• 2 teaspoons minced garlic


• 1 teaspoon minced ginger


• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes


• 1/4 cup chicken broth


• 2 green onions, thinly sliced


• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional


• Cooking oil for frying

Instructions:

Toss the chicken pieces in cornstarch in a bowl until they are well covered

The sauce is made by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a different bowl

In a pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat

Fry the chicken until it's golden brown and fully cooked, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes

Take it off and let it dry on paper towels

Set aside a second pan and add one tablespoon of oil to it

After you add the green onions, cook for one to two minutes

Put the chicken broth and the sauce mix into the pan

Bring to a simmer and cook for two to three minutes, or until the sauce gets a little thicker

Pour the sauce over the fried chicken and toss it around to cover it all

Add one to two more minutes of cooking

If you want, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve hot
