Lemon Chicken

Crispy Lemon Chicken is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender, golden-fried chicken with a sweet-tangy lemon glaze for an irresistible flavor explosion. Marinated in a blend of egg white, cooking wine, pepper, and sesame oil, the chicken stays juicy inside while achieving a perfect crunch thanks to a unique coating of sticky rice flour, tapioca flour, and regular flour. The magic happens when crispy chicken meets a glossy syrup made with rock sugar, brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic lemon peel—creating a vibrant balance of sweet and citrusy notes. Finished with a sprinkle of toasty sesame seeds, this dish delivers a satisfying contrast of textures and bright, zesty flavors. Quick to prepare yet impressive enough for any occasion, this Crispy Lemon Chicken is a must-try for anyone who loves bold, restaurant-quality meals at home.
