Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

500 g (1lb) chicken breasts (cubed into bite-size pieces )
1 egg (beaten)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup flour
½ cup cornstarch / cornflour
oil (for frying)
1 tbsp canola / vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves (crushed )
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup water
¼ cup brown sugar (You could add up to one third cup sugar if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter.)
2 tbsp rice vinegar / lemon juice
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour (mixed with 2 tbsp water )

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a bowl then add the egg and soy sauce. Massage the egg and soy into the chicken well then allow to sit for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large pan then cook for garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer then pour in the cornstarch slurry. Reduce the heat then simmer until the sauce is thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat enough oil to fry the chicken in a deep pan or pot. Place a wire rack over a sheetpan.
  • Combine the flour and cornstarch in a separate bowl then coat the chicken in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is completely covered.
  • Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan, until the chicken is golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on the wire rack while you cook the remaining chicken.
  • Place the pan with the sauce back on the heat and bring to a simmer. Add the fried chicken and sesame seeds to the pan then toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Season to taste with more soy, vinegar or sesame oil as necessary then serve over rice or noodles.

GORDON RAMSAY'S STICKY LEMON CHICKEN



Gordon Ramsay's Sticky Lemon Chicken image

I found this recipe on a youtube video of Gordon Ramsey making this on one of his British cooking shows. These turned out pretty good and the flavors are fantastic! You can watch the video if that would be helpful! In it, he used whole chicken legs/thighs still attached together. I only had Chicken legs and they turned out great! You could probably use the bone-in chicken thighs. This is very easy and the lemon aroma will make your home smell so heavenly!
