For the Four Piece Chicken

Method

Preparation and Cooking Directions

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces, cover, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Onions

In a separate bowl, combine sliced onions with a pinch of salt and let them sit to marinate for about 15 minutes.

Prepare the Breading

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with bread crumbs.

Bread the Chicken

Take each marinated chicken piece, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, and then coat it with bread crumbs. Repeat for all pieces.

Fry the Chicken

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Fried Garlic

In a small pan, heat a little oil and fry minced garlic until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dish

Place the fried chicken on a serving plate, drizzle with General Tso’s sauce, and top with fried garlic, marinated onions, and bread & butter pickles.
