Deb's General Tso's Chicken
This General Tso's chicken uses cornstarch batter for a crisp, golden brown coating. Frying the chicken twice makes it extra crispy. A spicy, sweet soy sauce mixture with ginger and garlic adds incredible flavor. Don't scrimp or replace the ingredients — you might be disappointed. You can make the sauce and complete the first chicken fry up to 3 days ahead, then complete the second fry before serving. Serve with rice or noodles tossed with steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, squash, and green onions.
