I made Kenji’s best ever General Tso’s Chicken

I had flagged this to make for a while, but was waiting until I was using a bunch oil for some deep frying.

Well, that time came. I have to say that it was great. I added non traditional steamed broccoli so I had a veg, but it wasn’t cloyingly sweet and had a touch more heat than standard takeout, and the whole thing was much richer.

Great dish, and would do again.

I followed the recipe fully. I found some of rhe comments about having too wet of a batter was likely from one of two reasons. They either failed to reserve half the marinade ahead of time, which would make everything a sticky mess. Or, they didn’t measure by weight, so that “half cup” or flour and “half cup” of cornstarch wasn’t nearly enough.
