Simple Lemon Sauce Chicken Recipe

This is one of a favourite must have dish for my kids whenever we eat out. Everyone loves the fresh lemon sauce on crispy fried chicken. You can use any fried chicken flour that you can buy off the shelf to save all the hassle of mixing your own flour for deep frying the chicken. In order to get the sauce right, you will have to balance to sweetness, saltiness and sour taste using your taste buds! LOL!

Ingredients
Chicken, ½ chicken (you can de bone it if you want to), cut into bite size
Premixed flour for deep frying, ¾ cup

Sauce
Lemon Juice, from half lemon
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Corn flour and water mixture

Coat the chicken with premixed flour and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain away excess oil and put it aside. Put a little water in a frying pan and add in the lemon juice. Add salt and sugar to taste. Bring to a boil and pour in the corn flour water mixture to thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce on the deep fried chicken. Garnish with cilantro or Chinese parsley and serve while still hot. Taste good if eaten with steamed rice.

This is a nice dish but I have yet to a restaurant that serves it well. Most places serve a version that isn't very tasty and the sauce is just too sweet.

But this dish definitely beats eating KFC anytime! :)
