fried chicken with lemon sauce
(Chinese cooking)

Fried chicken with lemon sauce, chinese cuisine

This fried chicken in sweet and sour lemon sauce is a more subtle alternative to the classic sweet and sour preparation of Chinese cuisine.

Although this is a recipe mostly housewife, it is also very well suited for a lunch or a dinner with the Chinese guests.
The mild flavor makes it pleasant to all palates.

It is one of those preparations that require more time to be described than cooked and put on the table.
It does not even require special tools or equipment even if, when they have a wok and frying pan, applies as much to use them!

And now, starting as always from the ingredients, let's start cooking!

Start by preparing the marinade which then, with the addition of a teaspoon of cornstarch, will then be used to prepare the sauce.
Pour it on the chicken breast that has just been flattened with your hand and leave to flavor for about twenty minutes.

In the meantime, sauté the onion cut into pieces in a hot wok just enough to burn it and soften it slightly, pass it into a container and keep it aside.
