I make General Tso’s chicken shooting from the hip but this recipe https://pickledplum.com/baked-general-tso-chicken-recipe/ is close to what I usually make. There are tonnes of alternatives on the Internet. I like the oven hot so the breading gets especially crispy; I dislike having the whole coating come off with the first bite. With convection on (which will help make it crispy also) it is going to cook faster so keep an eye on it. I use honey rather than granulated sugar. Red chilis (I use Thai because I have them) are not optional for me. grin Most of the recipes I found searching around have you make the sauce, pour it in a bowl, dump the chicken into a pan, and pour the sauce over it. That’s at least two extra things to clean which pains my soul. I leave the sauce in the pan I cook it in and dump the cooked chicken on top and mix. Do as you will.
