Directions Easy Homemade Chinese Lemon Chicken
Directions
-
Whisk soy sauce, egg, lemon juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and hot mustard together in a medium bowl. Add chicken, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Remove chicken from marinade and toss in a large mixing bowl with 1/2 cup cornstarch. Be sure to coat thoroughly. Discard marinade.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a tray covered with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Whisk chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir constantly until sauce becomes translucent and begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and top cooked chicken with sauce.
