Chinese Lemon Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Tried it tonight and it was okay but not great. I expected the batterto be a little more crispy. Chicken was extremely tender though. The sauce needs a little more lemon. Next time I try it, I think I will add a little lemon zest to the sauce, eliminate the salt and add another tablespoon of lemon juice.

    Chinese Lemon Chicken, Found this online on blogchef.net and the poster was Bobby. This stuff looked DELICIOUS – like Chinese take-out Orange Chicken, but with lemon, and without all the bad stuff that goes into Chinese takeout. Prep time includes refrigerate time., Tried it tonight and it was okay but not great. I expected the batterto be a little more crispy. Chicken was extremely tender though. The sauce needs a little more lemon. Next time I try it, I think I will add a little lemon zest to the sauce, eliminate the salt and add another tablespoon of lemon juice., Wa, I saw the pix too. Way to tempting. I am preparing the ingredient for tomorrow night. Except the frying part, everything seems easy. Next day, I came back to rate: the frying chicken picese is perfect. I give it a 5 star. The sauce is ok, I would give it 3.5 star. It is not tangy enough, even I added one more fresh squessed lemon juice. The presentation is perfect though!! Over all I give it a 4 stars! Thank you for posting here.
