Baked General Tso's Chicken

May 08, 2017

General Tso's Chicken is normally deep fried. Try it baked instead! Save some calories, and don\\\'t lose one bit of flavor. You'll want to make extra sauce, to spoon over the rice.

1/4 cup flour
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
