Chinese Take-Away-Style Lemon Chicken Recipe by Tasty

Honestly, I think it would be better without the batter. The marinated chicken is so good by itself, topped with the lemon sauce to give it extra flavor, I think it would be good without. But I don't have a deep fryer, so I didn't get the full crispy deep fried chicken experience with this because I had to dip them in simmering oil in a pot...

Took way longer to cook than 30 min

This is LUDICROUSLY good!!! No alteration needed, I'm in takeaway heaven. Just remember to put aside a couple of hours if you double the batch!!!

Absolutely delicious, a bit of a faff but more than worth it! I used chicken thighs instead of breast & tripled the recipe. There was plenty of sauce to coat all the pieces but I'd maybe do the sauce x4

Tastes better than it looks! Took a while and a lot of washing up. Would make it again

I did my chicken in the air fryer, which I did in small batches 5 minutes each side at 200 degrees Celsius. I also doubled the ingredients to make more though I kept the sugar amount the same as it felt excessive and increased the liquid ingredients ever so slightly. Really nice and easily the best thing I’ve ever made, tasted exactly like a dish from the Chinese. Will be sautéing some onions and peppers next time to bulk it out a wee bit and make it feel even more authentic.

I chose to make a healthy spin on this dish. I eliminated the the batter and fry steps and did a lil bit of olive oil and pan fried. Turned out delicious.

Parents went out of the country. Me and my sister cooked a real meal for the first time. This blew our mind!!

I reduced the sugar and lemon. I accidentally mixed the panko and flour together and it worked great! The chicken came out crispy and delicious and my family all loved it

Family really enjoyed it! Paired with Udon noodles in garlic and soy sauce

Cut down on the lemon

Was lovely - can certainly reduce the amount of lemon but really nice.
