Okay, folks, let's talk General Tso's Chicken Sliders! This recipe is ridiculously easy, incredibly flavorful, and perfect for a casual get-together or a satisfying weeknight dinner. I came up with this after a friend raved about his attempt at making General Tso's at home (which, he later admitted, was a disastrous sticky mess). I thought, 'I can do better!' And I did.

These aren't your grandma's chicken sliders—unless your grandma's a culinary rockstar, in which case, kudos to her! These little bites of heaven pack a punch of sweet, spicy, and savory flavor. The perfectly balanced sauce clings to tender chicken pieces, creating an unforgettable taste experience. Plus, the slider format is just plain fun!

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, making sure to break it apart into bite-sized pieces as it cooks. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, add the sauce mixture to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Maybe you like a little extra ginger, or a little bit more fire?
  5. While the chicken is cooling slightly, lightly toast your miniature slider buns.
  6. Spoon the General Tso's chicken generously into the slider buns. I like to add a bit of sesame seeds on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
  7. Arrange the sliders on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped scallions (if you are fancy).

📝 Notes

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar or rice vinegar to your liking. If you like it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Don't be shy!
