Here is how you make Cornstarch Slurry for Gen Tso's Chicken:

Mix cornstarch slurry in a large bowl- the mixture will be strange but trust me it works. It will be VERY thick almost paste like. Add chicken pieces to coat. Using a fork remove ONE chicken piece at a time and let the excess mixture drip off. YES even though the mixture has a weird consistency it will not stick like paste and the excess will drip off. Add chicken to the hot (350 degree) oil and fry until crispy. Only cook 7 or 8 chicken pieces at a time. You do not want to raise the temp of the oil by cooking too many at a time. You can use a simple cooking or candy thermometer to judge the temp of the oil.Drain on paper towels. Keep warm- I just put them in the oven with the oven off. Repeating until all chicken is fried.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOLINAR.
