Crispy Cantonese Style with Sweet & Sour Heat
General Tso’s Chicken is one of the most popular Chinese takeaway dishes in the West, known for its crispy deep fried chicken pieces coated in a glossy, sweet, tangy and lightly spicy sauce. This General Tso’s Chicken recipe follows a Cantonese style marinade and double fry technique to achieve ultra crisp chicken before wrapping it in a caramelised chilli vinegar glaze.
