Mean Guy's General Tso's Chicken

This recipe is great! I was impressed with how easy it was to make. I used chicken breast and kept everything else exactly the same. I probably will double the sauce next time - personal preference to have lots of sauce. Great flavor. We like it as much if not more than our favorite Chinese restaurant.

Does this really taste like General Tso's Chicken ? I haven't the foggiest since I'd never eaten it before, but it is delicious ! I prepared it with chicken breast and sherry instead of rice wine (didn't have any, but will next time). Husband gave the thumbs up after only one bite. This recipe is definitely going into my permanent file. Thanks for posting, Mean Chef !

OH OH OH! What a fantastic recipe. A wonderful blend of flavors. The recipe was so easy to make. I doubled the sauce and would of liked more to pour over the rice. Thanks for the great recipe.

Delicious! I doubled the sauce ingredients and was glad I did. I would use a little less sugar (maybe 4 TBSP) next time. It was a little sweeter than I prefer with 6 TBSP. The whole family loved this. I had another recipe for this that I always used and never thought I would find one better but this is better and EASIER! I served it over thin spaghetti that I had sprinkld with soy sauce. Thanks a bunch!

Meanie, I love you! This recipe is so easy and surprisingly tasty! The chicken was moist with not too much breading, the carmelized sauce had such a full flavor but not too rich, and the peppers gave off just enough heat to leave wonderful after-affects. I think that this recipe is easy enough that I feel safe tinkering with it, adding more or less of this or that for variety, specifically the number of peppers and perhaps trying mushroom flavored soy sauce. My ultra-picky dh even suggested I buy a wok just so I can make this more often! We served it over basmati rice, and in the future I will add sides of steamed snow peas and marinated carrots. This is a certain keeper.

This was a hit in our house. I have never cooked with that much oil before, so was a little apprehensive. I was worried the oil wasn't hot enough, but it must have been O.K. Good thing I doubled the recipe as DH and DD had 3 helpings. DD is a tiny 12 year old and must have told me 7 times throughout the meal how great it was. DH was still talking about it hours later. There is nothing I would change.

Awesome!! Better than the restaurant. My whole family loved this. It was so great to actually cook something that was like you would have in a restaurant. I subbed Sherry wine for the rice wine and it was just amazing.

I have made this recipe twice in the last two weeks because it is easy to prepare and my family loves it. The first time I used thigh meat and the second time I used breast meat. Followed your recipe exactly. I was very pleased with the light, crispy coating on the chicken pieces after the 1st stage frying. These were delicious, as is. The sauce carmalized to perfection. No doubt I will be making this often.
