Ingredients:
12 oz (350g) chicken breast, cut into thin strips
Oil, for deep-frying
1 lettuce leaf
Toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
Marinade:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Honey Lemon Sauce:
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Frying Batter:
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Method:
Marinate the chicken strips with all the ingredients of Marinade for 10 minutes. Make the Frying Batter in a large bowl, lightly whisk the egg and mix the rest of the Frying Batter with the ingredients. The batter should not be lumpy, nor too runny, but smooth. Drop the chicken strips into the batter, mix well until they are all well coated. Mix all the ingredients in the Honey Lemon Sauce well and set aside.Heat up a wok with the oil on medium high heat. Gently drop the battered chicken strips, make sure it is spread out to prevent sticking together while frying. Deep fry the chicken strips to golden brown. Dish out and drain on paper towels.
In a saucepan, gently pour in the Honey Lemon Sauce and bring to a light simmer. Give it a quick stir until the sauce bubbles. Remove from heat.
Place the lettuce leaf on a plate, put the chicken strips on top and pour the Honey Lemon Sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
Honey Lemon Chicken – crispy chicken with AMAZING honey lemon sauce. Quick and easy recipe that anyone can make at home.
Honey lemon chicken is one of my favorites. It’s a combination of two of my favorite recipes: honey chicken and lemon chicken. Imagine battered chicken fried to crispy goodness and doused in a sweet honey and lemony sauce. The thought of it is enough to set my mouth watering.
This Honey Lemon Chicken recipe is very easy. The easiest way to fry the chicken is to shallow frying. You don’t need a lot of oil. Just fry the chicken over medium heat until they become crunchy and crispy. It takes longer but the result is rewarding.
