Ingredients
- 1 x Green bell pepper
- 1 x Red bell pepper
- 1 lb Chicken breast, boneless
- 1/2 c. Flour
- 1/4 c. Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking pwdr, double-acting
- 1/2 tsp Vegetable oil
- 1 x Lemon
- 3 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tsp Water Parsley sprigs
Directions
- Wash and seed the peppers. Cut each one into strips about 2 x 1/4 inches.
- Cut the boneless chicken breast into strips about 3 x 1/2 inches.
- Prepare the batter by mixing in a bowl the flour, cornstarch, baking pwdr, salt, water and oil. Stir till smooth.
- Cut half of the lemon into thin semicircular slices. Prepare the lemon sauce by squeezing the juice from the other half of the lemon and combining in a c. with the sugar and water. Stir well.
- Combine about 1 tsp. cornstarch and about 2 tsp. water in a second c.. This mix will be used later to thicken the lemon sauce. Dip each piece of chicken in the batter and let the excess drip back into the bowl.
- Deep fry the chicken in small batches. It is best to use an electric deep fryer, but if this is not available, heat about 1 qt of vegetable oil in a wok or possibly deep pan till it is very warm. Then add in about 5 pcs of chicken at a time to the oil and cook, covered, for about 5 min or possibly till a golden crust forms. Check once a minute to see if the pcs are sticking together, and if so, separate them. After each batch is finished, set aside on a paper towel to drain off the excess oil.
- Cook the lemon sauce by pouring the lemon-sugar mix into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add in the cornstarch-water mix and stir till thickened.
- To please the eye as well as the palate, mix up the chicken and colored pepper pcs and pile on a plate. Top with sprigs of parsley and place the lemon slices around the outside of the plate. Put the warm lemon sauce in a c. so which people can pour it over their chicken just before eating, to keep it crispy.
- Serve with rice. Do not forget to start the rice so which it will be done at the same time as the chicken.
- A nice-looking dish for company. The deep-fried chicken pcs can also be served as party snacks instead of junk food.
- NOTES:* Crispy chunks of chicken in sweet lemon sauce.
- Yield: Serves 2-3.
- Difficulty: With an electric deep fryer, easy; without one, moderate.
- Time: 45 min.
- Precision: Measure the batter ingredients.
