Lemon Chicken (Lemon Fried Chicken): A Zesty and Crispy Delight

Lemon Chicken, also known as Lemon Fried Chicken, is a mouthwatering dish that combines the irresistible crunch of fried chicken with the bright and zesty flavors of lemon. This dish is a delightful fusion of savory and citrusy notes, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate a touch of tanginess in their meal. Here’s how to create this savory and refreshing dish:

Steps

1
Done

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Set aside and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

2
Done

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

3
Done

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in batches and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

4
Done

In the same skillet, remove the excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5
Done

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, water, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, and lemon zest. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the garlic and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6
Done

Return the fried chicken to the skillet and toss it with the lemon sauce until each piece is coated evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, to allow the flavors to meld together.

7
Done

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the lemon chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon slices, chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
Serve the Chinese Lemon Chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.
