AWESOME! Made the sauce only to compliment some leftover sesame chicken from the night before. Added some hoisin and garlic sauce with a hint of cornstarch to thicken. Dropped the leftover sesame chicken (previously deep fried) in the sauce, stir fried.....made a lovely glaze. Served with fried rice...AWESOME!

I used fresh chili peppers. I kept the pepper out of the kids batch and the adults had peppers (that I split open) and some dry pepper flakes... sweet, spicy goodness!! I will make this once a week and so much more cheaper than take out and you can make it as crispy as you want it and as spicy as you like it!! Love it! My family loves it too!! I like that you can fry it in advance and then fry it a second time later because it is time consuming.

This recipe was quick and easy to make. My husband loves it when I make this. The only problem that I had was that it was not spicy enough. I had to use quite a bit of red pepper flakes and even then it still lacked a little bit of the spice that most restaurant quality General Tso's has.

Flavor was excellent, but next time I will thicken the sauce a little.

We loved this recipe! Took a lot of dishes to make, but so worth it. Used chicken breasts as that was all I had on hand. And we used peppers from our garden. The sweet and spicy flavors work well together. Will definitely make again!

Great recipe! The skeptical 19 year old called it 'legit'! That's a compliment =]

Way to much sugar. The chicken was like eating a candy apple!! The coating on the chicken turned out perfect... and the basic flavor was good... just too much sugar.

This was Awesome!! Genius!! I made it to serve 3 and substitued the sherry for 2 T water, used 1/8 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes instead of red chilies and 1/8 tsp of ground ginger because I did not have any fresh on hand. I ended up frying my coated chicken in a pan. My only complaint was the sauce didn't thicken but my sauces never thicken. The taste was amazing, just how I remembered it tasting at a restaraunt in Montreal. Fabulous!! Thanks Deb K!!

I love this recipe..my sister in law introduced me to it, it is very easy to follow. I had to modify the peppers alittle bit so my kids would eat it, but they love it as well...
