Tonight we made Lemon Chicken quick and easy enjoy.
Lemon Chicken INGREDIENTS 1.5 boneless skinless chicken breast ⅓ cup Cornstarch or as needed ⅓ cup Vegetable oil ½ tsp Salt ¼ tsp Black Pepper Sauce: ¼ cup Brown sugar • 3 cloves Garlic minced ½ tsp Ginger grated Zest of one Lemon juice of 2 lemons • 2 tbsp Regular soy sauce (not light or dark!) ½ cup Chicken stock unsalted • ½ tbsp Cornstarch Optional: 1 tsp Sesame seeds garnish INSTRUCTIONS 1. Dice chicken thighs into bite size pieces, about 8 pieces per thigh. 2. In a bowl, pre-mix your sauce ingredients as listed above. 3. Evenly coat diced chicken in cornstarch. For an even coating, place cornstarch on a plate and dredge each piece into the starch until evenly coated. Alternatively, for a faster method, sprinkle cornstarch over diced chicken and mix to coat. Note: The latter method is faster but results in less crispy chicken so if you have time, opt for first method. 4. In a hot wok over medium-high heat, add oil. Once the oil glistens, quickly add chicken and spread apart quickly to prevent pieces from sticking to each other. Fry chicken for 6-7 minutes in total, flipping over halfway. Remove fried chicken from oil and set aside. 5. Remove any excess oil in wok. 6. Over medium heat, pour in sauce. Keep stirring sauce bubbles and thickens to reduce. 7. Add back in fried chicken and toss to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
