General Tso's Chicken

6.0

2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (cut into bite size pieces, approximately 1 inches)

½ cup Cornstarch

2-3 cups Olive Oil (for frying)

1 teaspoon Fresh Minced Ginger (or ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger)

3 cloves Garlic (minced (or 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic))

½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Sesame Seeds (for garnish)

½ cup Cold Water

¼ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce

1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar

1 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce

3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1 Tablespoon Cornstarch

Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Toss the chicken in batches in the cornstarch making sure to coat it completely. Set aside.
Heat approximately 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or large sauce pan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cook the chicken in the oil in batches (2-3 depending on the size of your pan). Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping it halfway through the cooking time, until all sides are browned and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oil to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the oil.
Remove most of the oil from the pan leaving approximately 1 tablespoon. Heat over medium high heat.
Add in the ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for approximately 30 seconds until you can start to smell the garlic and ginger.
Whisk in the sauce and bring to a simmer while stirring.
Cook for approximately 1 minute until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add the chicken to the pan and stir to coat it with the sauce.
Serve warm topped with sesame seeds and enjoy!
