A clean-tasting chicken made by pouring a sweet-and-sour lemon sauce over twice-fried, crispy chicken breast

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • After the first fry, let it cool for about 10 minutes, then fry again quickly over medium-high heat to draw out moisture and make it even crispier.
  • The white part of the lemon peel is bitter, so it's best to thinly peel only the yellow outer skin and use it.
  • Turn off the heat when the sauce reaches a pourable, slightly thick consistency so it coats the chicken smoothly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a tender yet crispy chicken breast dish that isn't dry.
  • Those who want to enjoy a clean-tasting chicken with a refreshing lemon sauce at home.
  • Those looking for a unique dish for entertaining guests or a special side dish.
