Emile Henry Flame Top Ceramic WOK on the Big Green Egg

This recipe is an all thigh variation on my original General Tso's Wok Chicken. Serves 4 and is quick and easy to prepare.   Using the Emile Henry Flame Top Ceramic Wok made my old carbon steel wok look like a toy!  What wonderfully even heat this thing provides.  The wok comes with steamer racks and a tempered glass lid for steaming but this time out we went with the traditional Bamboo Steamer…some habits are hard to break.
