I've never had General Tso's chicken, I can never resist Kung Pao chicken when I am ordering at a Chinese restaurant. But this recipe is pretty close, so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't deep fry the chicken; I sauteed it instead in some oil, then drained the excess oil before finishing the dish. I did add water chestnuts to it when I made it, since I wasn't serving it over rice. I'm not crazy about it, I like my go-to Kung Pao recipe better. But it was fun trying a new dish. : )
