Delicious but making it ruined take out night!
This was better than any take out General chicken I have ever had and now I am f-d. Next time I want our normal Chinese takeout so I don’t have to cook, hubby is just going to remind me how much better this was. I shouldn’t have doubted the technique of dumping chicken and marinade into the flour mixture but it was amazingly perfect. Bravo Marion.
So good even without frying in oil
Hello, i tried this delicious recipe in my air fryer and it is amazing.
Cooked the chicken in the air fryer and finished it in the wok.
Just wow!
