General Tso’s Chicken

General Tso’s chicken or simply General’s Chicken is a comforting, saucy fried chicken dish which is hugely popular in American Chinese restaurants and a popular Chinese take out item. It is said that this dish was actually bought back to Asia from the United States in the late 1940’s and named after a Chinese General.
The dish is reported to have been introduced to New York City restaurants in the early 1970s as an example of Hunan Cuisine though it is not typical of Hunanese cuisine, which is traditionally very spicy, rarely sweet. (Perhaps altered to cater to American tastes) The dish was first documented in the New York Times in 1977. The chicken is batter fried and hence stays nice and tender in a thickened sauce flavored with ginger, garlic, dried chilies and scallions.
