To prepare this General Tso chicken meal, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat it in a microwave according to the instructions on the package, usually for a few minutes until thoroughly heated. Alternatively, for a slightly crispier texture, you can transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish and heat it in a preheated oven. Ensure the chicken is piping hot before serving. It is often served as is or with a side of rice.
