General Tsao's Chicken - Trader Joe's

I bought this General Tsao's Sauce from Trader Joe's recently. It works like a charm and was easy to make.

In its absolute simpliest form, you just cook some white meat chicken in oil and add the sauce. My first time, I cut up a red onion and some tiny chili's, to cook in the oil. It came out good and my son liked it.

Well this second time, I found this video and decided to try it this way. Corn meal added to Panko Breadcrumbs sounded good to me...but it may not be to taste, for others.

I did (once again) add the red onion to the final product. I had no chili's this time.

It was edible, though I am loving the ones that I did not have sauce for. they make really good chicken nuggets. :-)

Check it out and see what you think.
