The basic ingredients of General Tso's Chicken are dark chicken meat, shallots, white wine or rice vinegar, hot peppers and spices like garlic and ginger. The chicken is breaded and deep fried than coated with a sauce made of tangy opposites like garlic, peppers, sometimes wine or sherry, and ginger. It's sweet, savory, sour and every bit as addictive as the restaurant version. The chicken is crispy without being overly breaded (my usual complaint when it comes to General Tso's), while the sauce is thick and syrupy, just like it should be.
Steps to make Skunkmonkey's General Taos chicken:
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Marinate the chopped chicken breast in 3/4 cup wine and the same amount of soy sauce. Add 2 teaspoons of cornstarch and white pepper powder. Mix in a nonreactive container for at least half of an hour or more.
- Heat the oil. Make batter of milk and flour. Fry the chicken after you batter it in the oil set aside on paper towels to absorb excessive amounts of oil.
- Cook onion in the chili oil, add ginger, and garlic and cook. Then add the ketchup, remaining wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and pepper flakes. Stir fry for 7 minutes. Then mix water and cornstarch add to sauce after it boils. Let this thicken stirring constantly. Then add all the cooked chicken. Stir coating each piece. Now add the broccoli and green onion let simmer for 5 minutes serve.

Cut chicken into chunks, then mix together with cornstarch. For the sauce: Mix together soy sauce, sugar, hoisin, vinegar, cornstarch. A plate of take-out General Tso's Chicken is usually made with deep fried chicken thighs and lots of sugar. Swapping dark meat for white meat, lightly wok sauteeing in place of deep frying, and cutting out the extra sugar, since hoisin is sweet enough, worked out great. Wow, I haven't had this good of a general tso's chicken since I went to Washington D.
