Crispy Chicken With Lemon Sauce Food

LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken with the Marinade, for 30 minutes. Mix all the ingredients for the Sauce. Set aside.
• Coat the marinated chicken with the corn starch and all-purpose flour mixture. Heat up a wok with about two inches of oil. As soon as the oil is fully heated, deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Transfer the chicken out to a dish lined with paper towels to sock up the excess oil.
• Add all the ingredients in the Sauce into a small sauce pan and bring it to a quick boil. Transfer the fried chicken into the sauce, stir to coat well with the lemon sauce.
• Dish out, top with the white sesame, and serve immediately.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH LEMON ORZO

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Remove the tenders on the underside of the chicken breasts and save for another use. (This makes the chicken breasts an even thickness so they cook evenly.) Heat the canola oil and 4 tablespoons of the butter together in a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to sizzle.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the skillet and cook over medium heat without moving for 12 minutes. With the chicken still skin side down, place the skillet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat (careful; the handle will be hot!). Turn the chicken skin side up, add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is a nutty brown color and the chicken breasts are just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer will register 130 to 140 degrees F). Off the heat, sprinkle on the parsley.
• Divide the Lemon Orzo with Feta among four dinner plates. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and slice each breast crosswise in thick slices. Arrange one breast on each plate with the orzo. Spoon a few tablespoons of the brown butter over each chicken breast, squeeze on some lemon, and sprinkle with salt. Serve hot with a fresh wedge of lemon on each plate.
• In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the orzo. Return the water to a boil and simmer uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Drain.
• Transfer the orzo to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the feta and serve hot.

CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARAMELIZED LEMON RINDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken thighs quite dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down and nestle the lemon halves around them so the cut sides touch the skillet. Cook until the chicken skin is very golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. (The lemon halves should char, but if they start completely blackening, lift them up and place them on top of the chicken as it cooks.)
• Lift up each lemon half, brush the cut side with maple syrup and return to the skillet cut-side down. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs so they are skin-side up, then continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone, another 5 minutes. Serve the chicken with the saucy pan drippings spooned over.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH LEMON-SESAME BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Strip the skin from the chicken thighs and season lightly with Creole seasoning. Toss them around in some flour, knocking off any excess. Pour 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a heavy skillet and fire it up over medium-high heat til it's hot but not smoking. Fry the thighs til golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Flip them once after 10 minutes.
• Get busy making the sauce while the chicken's cooking. Slap a small saucepan on the stove and add the peanut oil. Heat the oil over medium heat, and add the garlic, ginger, and jalapeños. Cook til the veggies are soft, then add the soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, sesame oil, and Mutha Sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes. Push the sauce off the direct heat, but keep it warm.
• Check the chicken, and once it's done, take it out of the oil and let it drain briefly. Dip each piece in the sauce and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the chicken, and serve with any sauce that's left.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook chicken in simmering chicken stock to almost cover until nearly tender about 20 minutes.
• Remove and suspend over a bowl to dry at room temperature about 2 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooled.
• Heat oil to 350 degrees in a wok to fry chicken.
• Fry chicken for approximately 20 minutes turning until golden on oil sides.
• Combine squeezed lemon juice from 3 lemons with sugar and 1/2 cup boiling water in a saucepan. Bring this to a boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add 2 teaspoons oil and soy sauce to sugar mixture. Remove from heat and set aside. Place chicken on a serving platter and garnish with triangles of lemon peel. Bring reserved sauce to a boil again. Mix cornstarch with a small amount of cold water to make a paste and stir into lemon sauce. Cook stirring until thickened slightly and spoon over chicken pieces.
