Ingredients
1 Pack of InnovAsian General Tso’s Chicken (frozen)
Cooking spray (optional, for added crispiness)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
A sprinkle of red pepper flakes or sriracha for added heat
A side of steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a full meal
Extra General Tso’s sauce or hoisin sauce for additional flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the chicken crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Chicken
Remove the crispy chicken pieces from the packaging (set aside the sauce packet).
Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray for an extra crispy texture (optional).
Place the chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3: Air Fry the Crispy Chicken
Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
For Extra Crispiness: Increase temperature to 400°F for the last 2 minutes.
Step 4: Heat the General Tso’s Sauce
While the chicken is cooking, place the General Tso’s sauce packet in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes to thaw.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and toss with the warmed sauce until evenly coated.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, noodles, or stir-fried vegetables.
How to Serve InnovAsian General Tso’s Chicken
Classic Asian Style: Serve over steamed jasmine rice or fried rice.
Savory Upgrade: Pair with lo mein, egg rolls, or stir-fried broccoli.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with extra sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.
For extra crispy chicken, cook 2 minutes longer before tossing in the sauce.
Want a thicker sauce? Simmer the General Tso’s sauce in a small saucepan for 1-2 minutes before tossing with the chicken.
For added flavor, sprinkle with garlic powder or Chinese five-spice before cooking.
