Low Fat Lemon Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Yum, the lemon sauce was beautiful and went wonderfully with the chicken and some rice! I made the full amount of sauce with half the amount of chicken to serve two. The only change I made was to use a tablespoon of honey instead of the corn syrup which isn't widely available in Australia. Apart from the low-fat aspect the method was a great taste compromise between no batter at all and the thick coating you often get at Chinese takeouts.
