CHINESE LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butterfly the chicken breasts: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (butterflied) to get two thinner pieces from each breast.
• Prepare the dredge: Combine the eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. In another bowl combine the ½ cup cornstarch with the flour and mix well.
• Dredge the chicken: Dredge the chicken through the egg first, then through the flour mixture.
• Fry chicken in batches: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, as many as you can fit, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
• Make the lemon sauce: Drain any leftover oil from the skillet. Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Add the lemon juice, sugar, chicken broth, ¼ tsp salt and 1 tbsp of cornstarch. Whisk everything well together and cook until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.
• Finish the dish and serve: Slice the chicken into thin strips and pour lemon sauce over. Serve with rice.

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot halfway with oil and preheat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Wings: Season the chicken with salt, pepper and seasoning salt, to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and coat the chicken completely with yellow mustard. Toss the chicken in the flour until completely covered. Add the drumettes to the oil, in 2 batches, and fry until cooked through and they start to float, about 10 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice to a large bowl. Carefully remove the chicken pieces from the oil and toss in the lemon juice, then sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning. Transfer the drumettes to a serving dish and serve with the dipping sauce.
• Dipping sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
