<p>I came across a <a href="http://www.justapinch.com/recipe/angela-pietrantonio/jareds-general-tsos-chicken/chicken">recipe</a> recently for General Tso Chicken and it looked simple enough. No fancy ingredients and something I could make any night of the week without too much trouble…my kind of meal! </p>
<p>Beware….photos of raw meat ahead. scroll quickly if you don’t like looking at it. </p>
<p>First I cut up some chicken into bite-sized pieces. </p>

<p>Then you dredge the chicken in flour and put it in a pan with oil and fry it up until it’s cooked through and crispy. </p>

<p>In a saucepan, mix together sauce ingredients. </p>

<p>After the sauce is done, add some green onions to the chicken.</p>

<p>Then add the sauce to the chicken. I decided not to fully thicken my sauce in the saucepan. So when I added it to the chicken, it thickened up in there after just a minute or two of being in the pan with the chicken. </p>

<p>Then I made some Rice-a-Roni Fried Rice. I added an egg to it to make it more like fried rice. <img decoding="async" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile11.png">&nbsp;</p>

<p>The verdict? Delicious! We all loved it. I will definitely make this again. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Nothing replaces the yummy deep-fried stuff you get when you order take-out, but if you want something a little healthier, give this a try! </p>
