Kung Pao Chicken is a Szechuan dish that’s a favorite of many in restaurants, but it can sometimes be a little too spicy for some. Red chili peppers, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey and garlic create a tangy, sweet sauce with a sometimes-too-fiery kick!

Sounds like a great dinner idea to me, and a perfect dish to feature for Friday Favorites, where we remind you of past recipes you might have missed, or might want to try again!
