Chicken in lemon sauce

Hello everyone!!!
This is a recipe which i decided to make as soon as i saw the picture of it. Searched for it on google and then decided on the below recipe.

In this recipe, we make the batter for the chicken and the lemon sauce seperately.

So, here it goes.

Ingredients for lemon sauce:

1⁄2 cup fresh lemon juice;
13⁄4 cups water;
1 cup tightly packed light or dark brown sugar;
1⁄4 cup granulated sugar;
1⁄4 cup butter;
1⁄8 teaspoon salt;
2 tablespoons cornstarch.

Method:

1) In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, 11⁄2 cups water, sugars, butter, and salt.

2) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

3) Mix the cornstarch and 1⁄4 cup water together until smooth. Stir into the boiling mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Serve hot.


1/2 kg chicken boneless breasts
Chopped spring onions

Ingredients for the Batter:

1 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 egg yolks (optional)
Soda Water ( i didnt have soda at home, so i made mine by adding eno to water).

Method:

1) Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt and pepper together.

2) Beat egg yolks (if using) and mix with soda water. Add to flour mixture.

3) Add enough soda water to make a batter that is slightly thinner than a pancake batter.

4)Pound the chicken breasts out lightly.

6) Fry chicken breasts, one at a time. Dip chicken breast into this batter. Hold over bowl, letting excess batter drip back into bowl. Slowly add chicken breast to hot oil, and fry until golden brown, turning once or twice.

7) Drain on paper-towels and then place cooked chicken on a rack over baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm while cooking remaining chicken. NOTE: placing on rack will prevent the batter from becoming soggy.

To serve, slice chicken, drizzle with lemon sauce and finish with chopped green onion.
