How to Make General Tso's Chicken

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the egg, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pan to 350°F (175°C). Add chicken pieces a few at a time and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add ginger, garlic, and dried red chilies, sautéing until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Mix the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, hoisin sauce, and vinegar in a bowl to make the sauce. Add this sauce to the pan with ginger and garlic. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce. Stir well to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
