General Tso's
Sweet-spicy fried poultry
General Tso's is a Chinese-American dish of deep-fried chicken pieces in a sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy sauce, named after a Qing dynasty military leader.
The name typically precedes "chicken" but often stands alone on menus and in speech: Let's get General Tso's and some egg rolls.
The dish is largely unknown in China and varies widely between American restaurants.
