This is my version of the classic General Tso Chicken which is served in almost all American Chinese restaurants. Of course, this is all about the sauce. I used a variety of vegetables in my version and the great thing about a lot of Chinese dishes is you can substitute any vegetables you like.

The crispiness of the chicken is mostly due to the corn starch in the dry mix. If you like a more saucy dish then I would double the sauce ingredients. Currently this is enough to just coat the chicken.

I had an urge for Orange chicken or General Tso. Didn't have the stuff to make Orange chicken, but did for General Tso's. Wanted to separate the white and dark meat, this was a good solution. Was still pretty quick and easy this way. If you are not a fan of a super thick sauce, use more broth/water in the sauce.
