GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN

Nothing special about this.It's just a sticky chicken.Not much to my liking.Seen everyone raved about it and cooked at home,I decided to give it a try.The taste is sweet,sour and sticky because of the added corn starch.Maybe too much corn starch was added? Marinate with corn starch,coated with corn starch and again corn starch in the sauce.How sticky this chicken bites can be?Maybe I should have add less starch so that it won't be that starchy?

Recipe taken from an internet source,but forgot whose one.I forgot to bookmark it.
