Lemon Chicken



Tangy and sour lemon sauce on crispy, fragrant and tender chicken - children would fancy this dish because it is relishing and the sour lemon sauce whets their appetite.

1/2 teaspoon salt.
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
1 teaspoon custard powder
2 tablespoon water

some lemon  pulp
1  tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup of water

For thickening: (mixed together)
1 tsp custard powder
1/2 tbsp tapioca flour
1 tbsp water

Method:
1)  Marinate chicken with the marinade for 1/2 hour.
2)  Dip marinated chicken into beaten egg and coat with flour. Deep-fry in hot oil until crispy.
3) Remove, cool, and cut into pieces. Place on plate.

  1. Veronica, this is one of my must order dishes at the restaurant! But what I dislike is some of them use artificial lemon to make the sauce. It tastes terrible!
