Cooking Crispy Lemon Chicken

In this video, Mandy shows how to make crispy lemon chicken and the perfect lemon sauce that pairs well with any meat. She also offers prepping tips for processing larger batches and freezing for future meals.

Mandy demonstrates a trick for shallow frying with less oil to achieve the same crispy result. She begins by marinating boneless chicken breast with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and black pepper. While the chicken marinates, she prepares the sauce using honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, sambal chili sauce, water, cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, and lemon slices. The sauce can be used with other proteins as well.

Mandy shares meal prepping tips, explaining that the sauce can be paired with one pound of meat and stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. She then coats the marinated chicken with a mixture of cornstarch and all-purpose flour, using a plastic bag to coat the chicken quickly without making a mess. She fries the chicken in oil using a high starting temperature to ensure proper frying.

Mandy suggests freezing the fried chicken for future use, explaining that it can be reheated in an air fryer or oven and coated with the prepared sauce. Once the chicken is fried, she prepares the sauce by heating it and thickening it in a wok. She adds the chicken and toasted sesame seeds to the sauce and tosses until coated. She emphasizes the importance of serving the chicken immediately for maximum crispiness.

Mandy concludes the video by sharing her love for the crispy chicken bites covered in the tangy and savory lemon sauce.
