For those looking for a healthier alternative to the traditional deep-fried General Tso's Chicken, this recipe offers a baked version that is just as delicious. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch, similar to the classic recipe. However, instead of deep-frying, the chicken is coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs and baked until crispy and golden brown. The sauce is made with reduced-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes. It is thickened with cornstarch and simmered until it reaches a thick and sticky consistency. The baked chicken is then tossed in the sauce, ensuring that each piece is coated evenly. This healthier version of General Tso's Chicken is a great option for those who want to enjoy the flavors of the dish without the extra calories from deep-frying.
