Step 1: Base sauce
In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the base sauce together and set it aside for 15-20 min. The heated Chicken stock will extract the flavor from the ginger, garlic and green onions. After 15-20 min. strain the Base sauce and set it aside.
Step 3: General tsp's sauce
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Pour in 3 1/2 cup or 828 mL of the base sauce
into the general tso's sauce.
Step 3: Batter
Cut the thigh or breast to about 1 inch or 2.5 cm in length and width. In a bowl combine the salt, garlic powder, white pepper, wine, and egg together and mix. Set it aside for about 20-30 min. in the fridge. After 20-30 min. add in 1/2 cup of corn starch and mix until you do not see the white corn starch powder. Once you do not see the white corn starch powder add in 2 tbsp of oil.
Step 4: Frying
In a pot or wok, heat the oil to 350F and add in the coated chicken one at a time using a fork. Fry for about 4-5 min or until golden brown. If you want crispier skin, fry for about another min. or so. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel or rack.
Step 5: Bring everything together.
In a wok or pan, add in 2 tbsp of veg, minced garlic and chopped green onions. Cook until fragrant, then add in 1 1/2 cup of general tso's sauce. Add in the thickener, 1 tbsp of potato starch/corn starch with 2 tbsp of water. Once the sauce thicken, add in the breaded fried chicken and mix. Lastly add in 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil for add fragrant.
Step 6: Plating
Plate your General tso's chicken with broccoli or other vegetables. Garnish with chopped green onions and/or sesame seeds. Served with rice or noodles.

Still using this recipe all these years later. Still the best and it’s not even close.
We wish you would come back and post more videos. We've all tried so many and they are great. And we all love your quirky humor.
You sound so enthusiastic
He passed away💔
@@leighannechavez6147 how do you know
@@leighannechavez6147 wait what??? When??
We hope you will be back.
YOU CHANGED MY LIFE I DON'T ORDER CHINESE ANYMORE I MAKE IT MYSELF AN IT COMES OUT EXACTLY LIKE THE TAKE OUT IF NOT BETTER YUMMY THANK YOU
The reason it stay crispy is because it's fried twice. They fried a large batch at first (60% cooked) and let it cool down and store in the fridge. Once customers order they refry it and then straight into the sauce. Doing this at home you don't need to cool down but fry it longer at 325F-330F.
This was one of my earliest video as I little experience making videos and didnt' know what to expect at first until I have feedbacks from viewers like you that made me better.
If I could eat General Tso chicken for dinner every day and not die doing so, I would, but having watched this, I am happy to leave its preparation to the Chinese folks at my favorite restaurants.
I like how you actually explain things, like when you said why you are adding the oil to the mix, or why not to fry too much meat at the same time! Awesome work!
I have been using this recipe for YEARS! It’s still my favorite General Tso Chicken- I prefer making it to ordering it out. I get so many compliments every single time I make it for people. Thank you! I hope you are doing well. 🥰💕
R.I.P Ray. You been a great help to my kitchen skills. See you in the next life bruh!!
It's different marketing terms but it's same. Dark soy sauce is "black" and "thick/viscous", it has a sweet flavor and not as salty compare to regular soy sauce. Yes, that is correct. You can make it by boiling brown sugar and water then adding soy sauce. Most people think "dark" is salty because it's reduce and "lite" as not salty which is a common misconception. That's why some companies/brand use the term "thick" instead "dark" as way to differentiate the 2. I hope that explain you question.
I love you. Please come back.
I was in the mood to try and make my own Chinese food (chicken and rice), something I'd never attempted to make before, and used this tutorial as a guideline for the chicken. It turned out great!
Thanks for making this video.
AND LET ME TELL YOU .......EVERYBODY INCLUDING MY SELF LOVED IT ! and let me tell you, i also made many other variations of this plate but every body liked this one the best... the sauce is on the money .! THANK YOU CHEF .
Thank you for trying it.
I made this and WOW! My family is hard to sell on non carry out Chinese foods. They LOVED IT!

i thought i lost this recipe forever and recently found it again, still one of the most delicious meals I've ever created from an internet recipe
I don't care how your voice sounds...you just released the secret!! THANK YOU
Nice backhanded compliment u dingus
Kranium Dranium dingus 😂💔
Kranium Dranium I know right!
Have been noodling around the web and discovered that the Art of Cooking episodes by Raymond are my FAVORITES! Reasons for that is clarity and confidence of presentation and personality!
Seems this is the best evolved state of The ART, in my opinion!
Now, I'd like to know where Raymond is a chef? ...Cuz CLEARLY he is exceptionally talented and experienced!
This is one of the very best cooking channels I've come across on You Tube. It's obvious you are a very skilled chef and you make it seem like I could actually prepare these awesome dishes! Thanks for doing this.
After years of thinking on "how to make that nice breading that chinese restaurants have" i finally found it ! Gonna try this ASAP :D
This is by far the best general tso's recipe. Thanks so much it was delicious!!
I tried to make General Tso's chicken for the first time a few months ago with this recipe, and it was delicious. Then I forgot where I got the recipe from so I used a different recipe. It wasn't even close to the taste of this recipe. Today, I finally decided to search on youtube instead of google like I did the last time, and found your recipe again. I subscribed it so now I can find it more easily. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I will try out other recipes you have.
OMG, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR RECIPES, YOU ARE THE BEST, I LOVE HOW YOU EXPLAIN THINGS NICE AND SLOW, WISH YOU THE BEST IN WHATEVER YOU DO, AND PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING, GOD BLESS YOU!!!!! IAM DOMINICAN AND HAVE LIVE IN NY FOR OVER 32 YEARS AND LOVE CHINESE FOOD!!!!
mayra acosta Will continue to do this as long as I live.
why not do a cookbook
mayra acosta Maybe in the future I will do a cookbook.
So its easy to learn and cook ..thanks
My children and I love Chinese food and we are from New York where I believe we have some of the best Chinese food restaurants. Ever since we have relocated down south, it's been very hard to find a good Chinese restaurant, so thank so much for sharing your secrets. My daughter discovered you on You Tube and just shared your channel with me. We are happy, excited, and can't wait to try some of your recipes. They all look so yummy! Please do some egg roll recipes :). Again, thank you. I wish you many blessings!
Stacey Travis I have a friend from China that came to visit here in the USA (this was years ago) and we went to eat Chinese food at a local “Chinese” restaurant where I live and he said to me that it was American food, not chinese. I googled it after that and it is indeed American instead of chinese as it is a Chinese influenced cuisine that early Chinese immigrants in the US created to suit the tastes of Americans. So it is indeed American instead of chinese. So now every time I see Americans say “Chinese restaurant” or “Chinese food” I giggle to myself.
Chinese cooking is the BEST!!! Simple and delicious.
The absolute best on youtube.
This is the recipe we are addicted to !!!! Thanks again!
The trick is to to take the chicken out when slightly cooked and then let it cool a little before cooking again. This allows it to be crisp on the outside and not over cooked inside.
i made this recipe and it taste just like the restaurant thank you and my son love it
Made this yesterday and was absolutely delicious. There is a lot of steps into making this but well worth it! Thank you
FINALLY .. I CAN MAKE MY OWN .. I LOVE LOVE LOVE GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN but it's never spicy enough for me so NOW I can spice it up to MY TASTE and your recipe instructions are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
You are Remarkable, Skill like yours is hard to come by. Your Vocabulary is so entertaining and Professional. I will enjoy this Tao chicken on my next day off from work. Many Thanks for this fine Video. Cheers and my hat comes off to you.
+Bill Shannon Thank you!
+The Art Of Cooking have you stopped making videos?
Members of the high council were summoned and told him to stop giving away the ancient secret arts of chinese cooking :)
+The Art Of Cooking I will try this today. Thanks!
Bill Shannon my pants come off and i gotta start pounding on it everytime i watch him cook something it just looks super
This is the real restaurant style General Tso's. I come back to this video every time I want to make it.
making this right now, I'm 2.5 hours in, almost finished.
Howsit taste?
BluntAnim finished in about 3 hours total, it is on the sweet side. Next time, I will use 25% less sugar. I love the marriage of all the flavors in this recipe and will continue to make it.
Thanks for the response. :)
Takes less time if experienced
Phenomenal job Chef.. I absolutely love the step by step instructions and SECRETS that you share with us God Bless you 🙏🏽😊 I love Asian American food and it's amazing to be able to Create these dishes at home.
Made it tonight...great recipe, thanks
I have made this recipe so so so so many times in my life. By a MILE, this one is the best I’ve found. Thank you! Thank you!!! I do use a little more corn starch but that’s about it.
This is a great recipe! Thank you for the cameo in the video.
I am so happy I found your recipe. This recipe is the most authentic Ive found on RUclips. I tried this recipe a few days ago and it was delicious. It tasted like I bought it from my neighborhood restaurant. You're the best.
dude your recipes are by far some of the best asian cooking i have ever had, all your recipes have changed the way i cook for good thank you sooo much :D
I made this tonight and it was epic! Thank you so much Raymond for your wonderful recipe!!
Best Chinese food on youtube. Lets be honest, take out chinese is always better and this guy nails it everytime!
R.I.P Raymond. I'm still cooking this your style brother!! Be proud looking down from above!!
That was an OUTSTANDING video!! I really like that this is true to Chinese restaurant cooking...unlike many videos that are altered for the home cook!
made this tonight. It was awesome. Lots of mothers sauce and general tso sauce for another time. I just bottled it up in a mason jar and through it in the fridge. Thanks so much.
General Tso sure had a sweet tooth:)
I always keep coming back to this recipie. Your sauce is the bomb. In my view it's one of the secrets for making lots of Chinese dishes. Thank you, thanks you, thank you.
i like all ur recipes..they are very details
I'm fairly new to wok cooking and General Tso's is one of my favorite dishes, I've tried many different recopies I've found for it and I have to say by far this is the best one out there. Some I have totally disregarded do to their indri idents; I mean who puts peas in General Tso's chicken anyway!
This was very good, thank you. I didn't have chilli/garlic sauce so I used red & chilli pepper & garlic instead. I also added a few dried chilli peppers to the wok & stirr fried with a pinch of green onion before adding the sauce to the wok for thickening. The color wasn't red but the dish was great. All your dishes are great! Thanks
This is the most complete general tso chicken recipe I've seen!! cheers mate!!
I've been cooking for a long time and use a lot of similar styles and ingredients, but I've never really been great at breading the chicken and frying without a lot of effort. These videos have helped me develop a style that allows me to do the breading simply, and easily (and sometimes throw in other spices for variation), and the breaded/fried chicken makes dishes like Sweet & Sour and the honey chicken so much better (I sometimes bake in a special 'air fryer' instead of frying). I definitely want to try the sauce exactly as it was spelled out for this recipe. Thank you so much! LOVE your channel!
Richard Smith Thank you for the comment, let me know what you think of the sauce.
It worked very well, though I still have a lot left over (that's okay because I have a lot of chicken left over, too!).
Still using this recipe years later. Better than take out and cheaper once you have all the ingredients on hand. I even found a recipe for egg rolls and hot mustard. And real hibachi. I never eat out really and it all started with this video
I like your straight forward approach to cooking this simple,but tasty dish.
I’ve made several of these dishes and just finished eating this one. Utterly delicious.
Not the highest of quality in the video, but damn, you're to the point and you SHOW people how to cook this quick and easy. Thank you very much.
This recipe was a lot of work. But, definitely worth it. Better than the restaurant.
To make this dish a little lighter, I didn't fry the chicken and used skinless breasts thinly sliced (not traditional, I know). Turned out fantastic - the key is the sauce, which is absolutely PERFECT! Thanks for the great recipe.
Hello Ray, I've watched all your videos and am always coming back to them to make my dinners. I have never had anything less then perfection from your recipes and I commend you on this. I do have a question about this sauce. If I wanted to double it, is there any ingredient changes I should do, for should I just double everything. I know with salt you are not supposed to double that, but there is no salt involved so I was just wondering. Thanks for the videos and give us more.
Thank you so much. One of the best, most comprehensive, consice videos I've seen. I love learning to cook from RUclips & your video is a joy; so helpful & enformative. Greatly appreciated.
I made this yesterday, i follow your recipe and i don't know how general tso's chicken suppose to taste because i have never bought in the Chinese restaurant, but this was delicious thanks for the recipe.
This was so good I made it last night !!! Thank you keep up the GREAT WORK !!!!!
Thanks for the recipe! I especially love the way you make your batter for the chicken. I normally use either plain flour or potato starch for salt and pepper chicken, but this new recipe will give me a change and a chance to taste something new(never tried general tso's chicken before). Keep up the good work, Chef.
Just finished making this...phew a LOT of work. I did tweak a few things but overall followed the recipe pretty closely. It tastes a lot like our local Chinese restaurant's. A little too sweet for my taste though. Next time I'll up the heat and reduce the sugar but it really came out great. Thanks! Can't wait to try your other recipes. Never have I been able to successfully make egg drop soup like in the restaurants so that's going to be next. THANK YOU!
Your welcome, if you would like a little bit less sweet, add in a little bit more of the brown sauce that would reduce the sweetness.
See my comment above to just make the sauce for 1 lb of thighs above. It's a lot simpler. I worked out the amts. I'm an engineer.
This tastes so good! We've been overdosing on this recipe the last 2 weeks :) Thank you x's 1,000,000 !
I really love it when the coating is hard/crunchy. This looks good and will try. Last time I didn't use enough cornstarch.
I tired this, and it was amazing. The chicken alone was great. If ya ever want to just have chicken bites without sauce. This recipe would be it. Everything was so good. Thanks for posting.
Hands down phenomenal recipe. My family enjoyed every bite. Thank you!
Thank the powers that be for you and this video. I needed a recipe fast. There's no way I was gonna attempt General Wang's Sausage.
Come back we miss u.
Awesome! I've worked in an Chinese American kitchen and this is very close to what we made...Thx for sharing...
Awesome video, very well done and professional. I can't wait to try it, feichang ganxie nin!
Finally I made General Tso's Chicken. Thanks a bunch for sharing you videos. Totally awesome Raymond.
This is one of the best video presentations I have seen for this dish. It is concise and very informative with everything required to complete the recipe. Thank you.
I love so much to watch your teaching video. Thank you so so much.
Other channels teach you to cook. This guy teaches you to start your own restaurant
Best gen tso chicken recipe and video on RUclips!
This video made me hungry. Great Vid Raymond. Look forward for the next one.
Thank you for sharing this detailed recipe! I tried it and it smells, taste, and looks exactly like the restaurants!!! I'm so happy it turned out deliciously fabulous! 😊

Great Food, better than restaurant! 😉
Just made this for my mum and sister for dinner and they LOVED it!
One of my favorite meals to enjoy eating and prepare. General Tso chicken just great to eat
Raymond, your tutorial is the best ---so clear, concise and simple to understand . Now perhaps, I can cook better. Keep them coming.
Just made it and it turned out FANTASTIC!
Thank you so much!
I do have a question for you -
How long will the left over sauce keep in the fridge?
If your alive or not, thank you for sharing this. It was amazing.
nice work, glad to tell my children there is still a man who can cook G.T. I add a hint of
honey, and sesame. Asian chef 50 yrs. Have you ever tried heating the cornstarch
before hand so don't have to make water slurry.
Please come back. We need you now more than ever.
Awesome video, excellent demonstration. I like it much better when I marinate the chicken in the sauce and put it on the barbecue grill.
Thank you for teaching us the "art of cooking" I really enjoy your channel...I made the broccoli chicken last night and it was a hit!!! keep showing us more recipes!!!
that's no problem chef. you are giving us a favor so whenever you get the chance to upload and teach us is very much appreciated. I forgot to add my other favorites like Pekinf style pork, Kung Pao chicken and Salt and pepper Pork/shrimps. Like I said, take your time and we look forward to more of your videos. Xie Xie!
Thank you for your quick response, my basic sauce came out a little stronger but any way I add more water with the sauce anyway while cooking. Thanx a million again and looking further for more recipes.
Wow this recipe in my country was named "Pollo celestial"... I spent a lot of time looking for this recipe... greetings from Venezuela and thanks for sharing your knowledge
Really love ALL your video's. Thanks for sharing.
Love how this recipe turns out. However, I like a bit more heat on mine so I put about 1/2 tbsp of ground chili paste ( this is a different thing than garlic chili sauce, mind you ) in with my 1 1/2 cup of sauce. If you like your Tso's spicier that's a good way to get there.
To make the non-spicy version, you just add vinegar and sugar. Don't need to add chili garlic sauce. However, I recommend that you decrease the amount of vinegar and sugar by half.
I'm eating my first attempt at General Tso Chicken, and typing with one hand. Its not bad! Thanks for the recipe :)
Mouth watering.Looks lovely
I have always loved General Tso’s chicken, but I’m not a fan of the store bought sauces. I definitely look forward to trying this recipe!!!🙂
you make all of my favorite cooing videos because asian food is AWESOME
Compare with other cooking show I like the way you cook. I already cook some of your recipe. Delicious and clean too. Thank you for sharing your recipe.👍👍.
A neat, clean and clear video. Thanks for sharing
