Chinese Lemon Chicken Recipe


ingredients:
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut in chunks or strips
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 egg yolks2 cups cooking oil
  • green onions, sliced
  • ***Lemon Sauce***
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons organic Chicken Broth base or regular chicken boullion granules. 
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, or more if desired

directions:To make the batter, combine the cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the egg yolks with the water until combined. Add the egg mixture to the cornstarch and blend until smooth. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture then cook in the hot oil until golden brown, turning as needed. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place the chicken in a serving dish and top with the sliced green onions. Pour the sauce evenly over the top of the chicken. 

To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, about 5 minutes until sauce boils and the brown sugar and bouillon granules are fully dissolved.
