    Very good, it is not the General Tso's you're used to from take out restaurants, but what do you make at home that is? It tastes great and it is not heavily breaded. I was pleasantly surprised since some of the reviews or so bad.

    I cannot say enough about this recipe!! General Tso's Chicken is my absolute favorite chinese dish so I was apprehensive about trying this recipe. I am elated that I took the chance. Everyone should eat this dish at least once a week.

    This dish was really delicious. Next time though, I will definitely make some adjustments to it such as adding more soy sauce and more sugar to the sauce. Also I think the sauce needed more broth because it thickened much too quickly. It was a hit with the family though! Yummy.

    I have had General Tso's chicken on the East coast, on the West coast and numerous places in between. If the General had this he would be turning over in his grave. This is not even remotely similar to any General Tso's chicken that I have ever had. Emeril you need to make better use of your sources.

    I found the marinade not as strong as I like, and the total prep. slightly on the awkward side for my first try. All in all a good dish, I will prepare this again!

    The first couple times it did not meet my expectations. However, after some fine tuning I got it just right for me. The previous people have to remember as Emeril tells us if you want more sweet in the dish ADD more sweet stuff if you want it hotter add more spices. The Food Police will not come to your house to arrest you!

    This was easy & delicious. It took no more time that it would to call in an order of take-out Chinese, cost less & was much better tasting.
    My hsuband has insisted this go on the "repeat" list of recipes. And he doesn't even like Chinese food.

    This was a really hit at our house. I did cut the peppers and pepper flakes down to half and it was plenty spicy at that. What a treat!!

    This was a delicious and fun recipe to make. It was the first time using fresh ginger and the smell and taste was fabulous! I don't like dark meat chicken so used boneless skinless chicken breasts instead and it worked out beautifully. The lightly toasted cashews were delicious too! Thanks Emeril for a great recipe!
