Joe's General Tso Chicken (6) My husband loves this recipe. I've taken several recipes and tweaked them till I got it exactly how I want. This recipe makes plenty of sauce so you shouldn't have to double it. You can use vegetable oil in the recipe, but I think peanut oil makes it taste much better.
