Like takeout but better! My gluten free General Tso’s chicken will satisfy every craving you have. It is so easy to make and since it can be made in an airfryer, you won’t need to deal with the mess that comes with frying it in a pan. I opted for chicken breast since I wanted a leaner meat but chicken thigh is a perfect option too!
