General Tso’s Chicken is a classic Chinese-American dish that has become a staple in many households. The dish is named after General Tso Tsung-tang, a famous Chinese military leader and statesman, but the origins of this dish remain a mystery. Some say it was created in New York City, while others claim it was invented in Taiwan. Regardless of its origin, General Tso’s Chicken has become a beloved dish across the world, and this slow cooker recipe is no exception.
Growing up, General Tso’s Chicken was one of my favorite dishes. I would always request it for special occasions and celebrations. However, I often found that restaurant versions were too greasy or lacked the right balance of flavors. That’s why I’m sharing this slow cooker recipe, which is both healthier and tastier than the traditional deep-fried version. This recipe is a family favorite, and I’m sure it will become one of yours too.
