- 10 oz (280g) skinless, boneless chicken breast/thigh, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup cornstarch sifted and combine well
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- oil for deep-frying
- 1/2 teaspoon white sesame
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar or more to taste
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 pinch salt or to taste
Marinate the chicken with the Marinade, for 30 minutes. Mix all the ingredients for the Sauce. Set aside.
Coat the marinated chicken with the corn starch and all-purpose flour mixture. Heat up a wok with about two inches of oil. As soon as the oil is fully heated, deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Transfer the chicken out to a dish lined with paper towels to sock up the excess oil.
Add all the ingredients in the Sauce into a small sauce pan and bring it to a quick boil. Transfer the fried chicken into the sauce, stir to coat well with the lemon sauce.
Dish out, top with the white sesame, and serve immediately.
