General Tso’s Chicken is a flavorful dish popular in American-Chinese cuisine, known for its deep-fried chicken pieces coated in a tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy sauce. Traditionally, the dish is made with bite-sized chunks of chicken that are breaded, fried, and tossed with a sauce consisting of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, and dried red chili peppers. Often served with steamed broccoli and white rice, it delivers a satisfying combination of textures and bold flavors. While rich in protein from the chicken, General Tso’s Chicken is typically high in calories, sodium, and sugar due to its frying process and sugary sauce. Health-conscious diners might choose to bake the chicken instead of frying and reduce the sugar content in the sauce. Though it has roots in Chinese cuisine, it is believed to be an American invention and is more commonly found in Westernized Chinese restaurants.
