About General chow chicken

General Chow Chicken is a popular dish inspired by Chinese-American cuisine, blending sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Typically, it features bite-sized pieces of chicken that are battered and fried until crispy, then coated in a glossy sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, and dried chili peppers. Often served alongside steamed white rice and vegetables, it offers a bold flavor profile and satisfying texture. While rich in protein from the chicken, the dish is high in sodium, added sugars, and calories due to the frying process and the sweetened sauce. Opting for baked chicken or using reduced-sodium ingredients and natural sweeteners can make a healthier version of this beloved classic.
