Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients in the Marinade for 30 minutes.
- Mix all the ingredients for the Lemon Sauce and set aside.
- Add the cornstarch and all-purpose flour to the chicken, stirring to coat each piece evenly.
- Heat a saucepan or wok with about 2 inches of oil. Once the oil is hot, deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a shallow pan over low heat, add the Lemon Sauce mixture. Once the sauce thickens, add the fried chicken and stir to coat evenly. Dish out, top with white sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
