Copycat General Tso Chicken (Slow Cooker)
There is nothing quite like the craving for sticky, sweet, and spicy General Tso’s chicken. But let’s be honest—takeout often leaves us feeling heavy, and the cost of delivery fees adds up quickly. That is why I am so excited to share this Slow Cooker General Tso’s Chicken recipe. It satisfies that "Friday Night Takeout" itch but with wholesome ingredients you can control right in your own kitchen.
This isn’t your average dump-and-go crockpot meal. The secret lies in a quick pan-sear before the slow cooking begins. This simple extra step ensures the chicken stays tender inside while holding onto that signature, glossy sauce we all love. Plus, by making it at home, you can adjust the heat to your liking and swap out the heavy deep-frying for a lighter, healthier approach. Trust me, once you try this version, you might just delete your delivery apps for good!
Serving Tip:
Steamed jasmine rice or your favourite type of rice
To make it even healthier, serve it on cauliflower rice
Use sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
