Disclosure: This General Tso's Chicken recipe is sponsored by Buzz + Bloom Honey via Mom it Forward. All opinions on it's spicy sweet finger licking deliciousness are my own.

Ever stop to wonder why some foods just taste better than others? For example, what makes your homemade pizza tastes 10x better than the big name chain?Or what about your favorite Chinese takeout dish. Authentic local restaurants blow the popular mall chains out of the water!

The deliciousness is in the details! And for our recipe the details=the ingredients.

That's why for this recipe I used Buzz + Bloom Honey. It provides the perfect sweet note to balance out the spicy chili paste. Buzz + Bloom Honey is as high quality as they come. It is sourced directly from places like Brazil and India! I'm sure you've heard of farm to table, get ready for hive to table!

What their honey is made WITHOUT is also impressive. All varieties of their honey are gluten free, AND free of artificial flavors/preservatives.
