How To Make Crispy Lemon Chicken

Step 2: Marinate the chicken

Place the strips of chicken breast in a small bowl and add the sugar, soy sauce, sherry and lemon. Combine well with your hands and marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Drain the chicken

After 30 minutes, drain the juice through the colander into the bowl. Reserve the juice for later

Step 4: Heat the pan

Place the medium pan on a high heat and then pour in the oil. Allow to heat through.

Step 5: Flour the chicken

While the oil is heating, take the chicken strips and dip them in a bowl of corn flour. Shake off excess flour, ensuring the chicken is well dusted before frying.

Step 6: Fry the chicken

Place half of the chicken strips individually into the hot oil and allow to fry for 3 minutes. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and put on a plate covered in kitchen roll. Do the same with the other half of the chicken strips.

Step 7: Make the sauce

Put a clean pan onto a medium heat and add the reserved juice. Mix together the chicken stock and remaining corn flour in a small bowl and pour in to the juice, blending with a form. Allow to boil and thicken, stirring occasionally.

Step 8: Assemble

Place the chicken strips onto a serving plate and generously spoon over the sauce. Sprinkle with some spring onions, if liked.

Step 9: Serve
