Lemon Chicken delivers a lively balance of citrusy tang, gentle sweetness, and light heat. Boneless chicken is marinated with lemon, ginger‑garlic, and pepper, then lightly battered and fried until golden. The pieces are wok‑tossed in a glossy lemon sauce made with fresh lemon juice and zest, a touch of honey, soy for umami, and green chilies for lift. Finished with spring onions and sesame (optional), it’s a vibrant starter or side that pairs well with fried rice or noodles.
