Made a sauce - Basically chicken stock, soy sauce, tomato paste, rice vinegar and seasonings. Then coat the chicken pieces in soy, egg yolks, corn starch. Next, head out to the Genesis:

Get some peanut oil going in the cast iron, and toss the chicken in...

add the sauce and cook it down for a bit, then add the nuggies. That's some serious glop going on in that pan!

Thanks for the great post. One of my wife's favorites so I guess I better give it a shot sooner or later.
 
Great looking General Tso's!!! Been a long time since I have made some, I need to start using my wok more often, thanks for the inspiration!!
 
Very impressive. When I am trying a new Chinese restaurant, this is the dish I order to see how good they are. And you sir would get many more visits from me!
