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.

This recipe is a family favorite, and I’m sure it will become one of yours too.
