    I love General Tso's (but have to limit how often I eat it because it's so darn bad for you!) and was so pleased to see a healthy alternative. I followed the recipe exactly and think it's good, but the sauce doesn't taste like General Tso's sauce to me. Thanks for sharing a healthy recipe though :)

    Grilled General Tso’s Chicken, Since I am calorie counting, I took one of my family’s favorite recipes and modified it to bring down the calories. If you cannot find rice wine, you can substitute Sherry, Madeira or Marsala., I love General Tso’s (but have to limit how often I eat it because it’s so darn bad for you!) and was so pleased to see a healthy alternative. I followed the recipe exactly and think it’s good, but the sauce doesn’t taste like General Tso’s sauce to me. Thanks for sharing a healthy recipe though :), Wow! Very easy, and very tasty. Only used 1/2 the chili sauce, and still had plenty of flavor. Also used ordinary sugar and sherry. This will be a regular weeknight favorite in our house. Updated to add: Used this sauce on some leftover grilled chicken – terrific way to recycle. Thanks for sharing!
