I was flicking through my old Twitter pictures and found this mouth-watering picture from 2014! General Tso’s Chicken Wings from Season 1, episode 9 of Restaurant Redemption. So many happy memories, it definitely deserves a place on #throwbackthursday on my Insta page. I thought that I would pop the recipe right here so you can try it at home - it’s an oldie but a goodie! Let me know what you think!
