Wow, with over a dozen Chinese or Oriental cookbooks, I had a hard time finding this recipe! It is probably called something else (like spicy fried chicken) and I really do have a dozen recipes. :) This one is from _Elegant_ Entertaining_Cookbook_ by Myra Sable of Sable and Rosenfeld, Bantam books. General Tsao was a real person, general and poet who lived in China 155-220 AD. rn e in the frig for 1 hour. Heat the oil in a wok. Deep fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour all
but 2 TB of the oil out of the wok. To the oil in the wok, add the chili peppers, garlic and ginger, stir-fry 2 minutes.

Pour into wok, cook, stirring for 2 minutes until thickened. Return chicken pieces to wok, mix well and serve.
