Please excuse the delay in posting this recipe. I figure that by now everybody ought to be back from Christmas getaway. At any rate, most of you understand that my Chinese father-in-law is an exceptional chef who taught me the best way to make a number of dishes when he visited us several months ago. My father-in-law truly cooked a number of dishes with me inside the kitchen, but for most in the dishes, like this a single, he merely gave me some components to work with and I figured out the ratios. This dish, although seemingly really simple, proved most elusive! It took 4 tries just before I lastly came up with anything good. The dish includes a powerful lemon flavor and is slightly sweet and tangy. Hope you take pleasure in it
P.S. Am now working on a Szechuan Chicken dish.
4 to six whole breast halves (skin included) 1 cup water 1/2 cup LOW SODIUM chicken broth 1/4 freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 teaspoons ginger, finely grated (the finer the far better) 1/2 teaspoon salt**
** I decided to work with just a little salt rather than soy sauce I initially had in recipe. The third time I produced recipe, sauce was slightly darker than I wanted it to become.
Ingredients utilized to fry chicken Cornstarch Oil Eggs
Mix sauce ingredients (almost everything except cornstarch, oil and eggs) at the least several hours before producing this dish to permit flavors to mix. I did not do this the initial time I created this dish and it just doesn't taste exactly the same! Rub some salt (to taste - in between 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon.per breast) around the breasts to ensure that the thicker meat on breasts may have an excellent flavor. In case you do not do that, you will have a tasty sauce and the meat around the surface of chicken will taste very good, but inner element will probably be extremely bland. Last time I created this I also employed a bit of garlic powder (can mix in with salt about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon total). Chicken needs to be salted with garlic and salt mixture A minimum of 12 hours, preferably 24 hours ahead of time to enable maximum penetration of flavors.
Spot a superb level of shortening or a mixture of shortening and liquid vegetable oil in wok or deep fryer. Wait till you've breaded your chicken before heating shortening. Subsequent, beat two eggs with about 1 1/2 cups water. After that, add about two tablespoon vegetable. oil to mixture and beat lightly. You're now prepared to bread chicken breasts with cornstarch. Dip each and every breast in cornstarch making certain it really is completely covered. Lightly shake off excess cornstarch and dip in egg mixture. Allow breasts to drip excess liquid before re-dipping in cornstarch mixture. This time, you would like an excellent coating, comparable to that of crispy beef--solid coating , but not also thick. Set aside breaded breasts and heat oil. Oil must be heated to 360 degrees. You do not have to be exact, but oil must be Excellent AND HOT, but not so hot that the batter on chicken may have a burned off-flavor from excess temp. throughout frying cycle. Based around the size of the fryer or wok, I'd almost certainly fry 2--definitely no greater than 3 breasts at a time. To fry greater than that would danger excess oil penetration simply because of a slowed oil temp. recovery. Fry breasts for about 12 minutes, or slightly longer if you're frying quite big breasts. If you learn that breasts are browning also speedily for the duration of fry cycle, it is possible to turn flame down after breasts have fried for about six minutes. By that time, there needs to be a great crispy shell to defend chicken from oil penetration. Shortly following you've got started frying chicken, heat up sauce and let to simmer for a minute or so ahead of adding about 1 1/2 tablespoons (approximation) cornstarch mixed with water. When sauce thickens, add about two tablespoon hot oil and mix effectively. Get rid of sauce from fire and set aside.
When fried chicken breasts are completed, enable them to set for about 2 minutes to ensure meat closest to bone is completely cooked.
Subsequent chop each and every chicken breast into about 3-4 pieces and pour a few of lemon sauce (to taste) over chicken. Remaining sauce may be employed to dip fried chicken pieces.
Chicken could be served over white rice.
