2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup cornstarch
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

BAKED GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN



Baked General Tso's Chicken image

General Tso's Chicken is Ree's favorite Chinese takeout dish. Typically prepared by deep frying dark meat chicken pieces before tossing in a sweet and spicy sauce, Ree is changing it up by coating chicken breast pieces in panko and baking them until crispy, skipping the frying. Paired with a simple sauce based on the classic flavors, you will be able to have takeout at home any time.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Nonstick cooking spray, for the rack and chicken
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1- to 2-inch cubes
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Sliced scallion greens, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crispy chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set a rack on a sheet tray and spray with cooking spray.
  • Place the flour in a wide shallow dish. Whisk together the soy sauce and eggs in another wide, shallow dish. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third wide, shallow dish.

  • For the sauce. Meanwhile, whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha and cornstarch; set aside.
  • Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Add the ginger, pepper flakes and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rice wine mixture, bring to a simmer and allow to thicken. Add the crispy chicken and toss to coat. Serve immediately with rice and garnish with sliced scallions.
