Delicious General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, if you like it spicy!)
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. First off, let’s make that chicken shine! In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are fully coated. This is how we create that crispy goodness that will have everyone fighting over the last bite!
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Okay, maybe crank it up a bit more if you’re feeling adventurous. Once it’s sizzling, add in the chicken. Fry until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. If you’re hearing that glorious sizzle, you’re doing it right!
  3. Now, let’s talk sauce! In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes together. This sauce is going to bring the whole dish to life—it’s like the perfect party for your taste buds!
  4. Once your chicken is cooked, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and let them mingle for about a minute. Next, pour in that delectable sauce and let it bubble away to coat the chicken evenly. Just make sure you don’t get too carried away, or you might end up with more sauce on you than in the pan!
  5. Finally, serve your delicious General Tso’s chicken hot, garnished with freshly sliced green onions. And voilà! You’ve just conquered the art of making this iconic dish.
