This healthier lightened up version is wok sautéed instead of deep fried, and made without all the added sugar used in most restaurants. 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. General Tso Chicken is one of the most popular Chinese recipes and most ordered chicken dish in Chinese restaurants in the United States.
