GENERAL TSO CHICKEN RECIPE CHICKEN BREAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat 4 cups of peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and the cornstarch. Mix in the chicken until all the pieces are coated with batter. Drop into the hot oil a piece at a time; cook until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Stir together the vinegar, wine, sugar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the banana ketchup in a small bowl until smooth; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the dried chile peppers and cook for a few seconds until the peppers brighten. Stir in the onion, garlic, and orange zest. Cook and stir until the onion is beginning to brown. Stir in the sauce; bring to a boil before adding the fried chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and stir until the chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce, a few minutes longer. Serve sprinkled with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, add chicken and ¼ cup cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper and shake to coat.
• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. Shake off excess cornstarch and add chicken to oil. Cook, in batches, until golden, about 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add garlic and red pepper flakes cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, making sure to scrape up any brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• In a medium bowl, whisk hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice with remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch until combined. Add to skillet and simmer until slightly thickened, 1 minute.
• To sauce, add broccoli and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and stir to coat. Simmer for 1 more minute.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
