Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

4 large chicken breasts
1/2 cup cornflour
3 tbsp water
4 egg yolks
salt, pepper
oil

LEMON SAUCE

1/3 cup lemon juice
1 3/4 cups chicken stock
2 tbsp cornflour
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp grated ginger

Method

1. Combine the sauce ingredients and stir over a medium heat until it boils and thickens.
2. Flatten the chicken breasts a little by beating them lightly with a heavy object.
3. Combine the cornflour, egg yolks and water in a bowl and mix well. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture.
4. Heat some oil in a wok or deep frier and deep fry the chicken until golden brown. (About 2 mins per piece)
5. Place the deep fried chicken on some absorbant paper and when cool, cut into slices.
6. Serve on top of noodles or rice with a liberal drizzling of the lemon sauce.

Result

This has to be one of the best dishes that I have made. It really has a great taste as the chicken and the lemon go so well together. Another idea that Caroline came up with for a previous Lemon Chicken recipe was to sprinkle some fresh lemon juice over the meal just before consumption! It really did jazz up the taste and gave the food even more of a lemony taste.
