Lemon Chicken

The all time most popular entree in my restaurant and cooking classes!!

Steps

The batter should be about as thick as pancake batter , or just a little thicker.
Dip chicken in batter and refrigerate for 10- 15 minutes.
Double deep fry the chicken , allowing at least 20 minutes between steps.
Blot on paper towels to remove excess grease.
When ready to add sauce , slice and put chicken on a serving platter lined with lettuce leaves and garnished with some cherry tomatoes.
For the sauce: heat about a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet.
Stir in scallion until it sizzles , about 30 seconds.
Add lemon slices & stir 1 minute until sizzling.
Add chicken stock , salt , and sugar.
Stir in cornstarch.
Cook 5 minutes to thicken.
Pour over sliced chicken.
Be careful not to burn or overcook the lemon or it will turn very bitter.
