    Thank you for this. Followed this recipe. It is amazing and spot on. Only thing I like to do, is after 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes of deep frying the chicken, I like to coat the chicken in the tso sauce and stick the coated chicken in the air fryer at 400 degrees for like 4-5 minutes. It caramelizes the sauce and makes the chicken pieces crispy. Takes it to another level. Awesome, tasty good!

    Can't believe keyboard "Cooks" are still telling you how to cook Take Away recipes - seriously. I do a lot of cooking and have cooked for events in the past, but I wouldn't tell you or other Chefs what's right or wrong. Recipes vary - one General Tao recipe will be different to another so what's the issue. I mean I've done General Tao before and it was a more Soya sauce/rice wine vinegar heavy using Chicken stock. Other recipes is just a basic Sweet n Sour, others use chilli powder or flakes others use Chilli sauce - so which one is right? Does anybody cares? obviously the Keyboard Bandits think so hahahaha.
    Also I always found you experiment until what's right for you personal and learn from others who do it differently and its a "Oooooohhhh" moment - Cooking is about learning not correcting or being a gatekeeper. "Deep breath"......... Great video loving the channel, hope you are all keeping well.
