Lemon Chicken

This is my all time fav dish of all time...a must dish i have to order in any chinese restaurant i go to...however, since we got here we still havent found a good chinese place, theres alot of em here but its chinese with ataste or middle east...not appetizing at all, so yesterday i have decided to try to make my own lemon chicken, i found a recipe from amy beh and made some adjustment and it turned out fabolous, the chicken was crispy and the sauce was just rite. Its worth a try..i even brun my arm makin this..teehee..

3 chicken breast - cut into thin strips
2 lemon - squeezed for juice or 1/2 cup of lemon juice
3 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoon brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon castor sugar
1 chicken maggi cube
1 1/4 cup water
salt & pepper
2 heaping teaspoon cornflour
1 1/2 cup of plain flour or tapioca flour ( i used plaine flour )
Oil for frying

Chicken
- Marinate the chicken with 1 egg,castor sugar,sesame oil,salt & pepper and 1 heaping teaspoon of corn flour set aside for 30 mins.
- Once marinated, coat the chicken with flour and fry in hot oil.

Lemon sauce
- Add the lemon juice and let it simmer for while
- Add in the chicken cube that has been dissolve in 1 1/4 cup of water, bring it to a boil
- Add in the honey and sugar bit by bit. Once u have acquired the taste u want stop adding anymore sugar.
- Lastly add 1 heaping teaspoon cornflour and let its thickens and add some salt & pepper to taste

Pour the sauce over of the chicken and serve.

P/S- I noticed that the flour doesnt absorb the oil...which is really good!
