M.P. has used their recipe a few times before, and he just made it again yesterday for our Sunday dinner - boy howdy, it's GOOD! Took a long day in the kitchen, but M.P. says it was worth it - and your Head Trucker totally agrees. We'll have it again tonight.
Using chicken thighs rather than breast meat makes tender, juicy eating. And the sauce is just the right balance between sweetness and mild heat. It's finger lickin' good - I tell you what, boys!
Bonus: Get the Hunger Pangs' printable recipe here on the ATK website.
BTW, to make a complete meal, you'll also need some white or fried rice and perhaps an egg roll or two to go with the chicken. Unless you're an experienced cook like M.P., I suggest you get those at the store, ready to heat up.

That made me hungry...Looks delicious but...also looks like a lot of work, so many steps and I would guess that the cost of ingredients is way more than going out to the local Chinese restaurant...which I plan to do at the first opportunity and order General Tso's Chicken. Unfortunately that is 35+ miles from our house.
It is a lot of work, but the ingredients are not expensive, and all of them are stuff M.P. keeps on hand. Check the link in my post for a list of ingredients.
During Covid, we thought once of calling for Chinese delivery -- but they had a $50 *minimum* charge in place, so we ordered pizza instead, for half the price.
We just had pizza last week when M.P. was feeling poorly, and I was pleased to see the bill was only $22 plus $5 delivery - not much more than the last time we called Domino's, probably during the pandemic.
