Please excuse the delay in posting this recipe. I figure that by now everyone should be back from Christmas vacation. At any price, most of you know that my Chinese father-in-law is definitely an outstanding chef who taught me the best way to make a few dishes when he visited us several months ago. My father-in-law in fact cooked a few dishes with me in the kitchen, but for most of the dishes, like this 1, he basically gave me some components to use and I figured out the ratios. This dish, though seemingly really basic, proved most elusive! It took 4 tries prior to I ultimately came up with one thing good. The dish includes a sturdy lemon flavor and is slightly sweet and tangy. Hope you enjoy it
P.S. Am now functioning on a Szechuan Chicken dish.
four to six entire breast halves (skin included) 1 cup water 1/2 cup LOW SODIUM chicken broth 1/4 freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons granulated sugar 4 teaspoons ginger, finely grated (the finer the far better) 1/2 teaspoon salt**
** I decided to work with just a little salt rather than soy sauce I initially had in recipe. The third time I created recipe, sauce was slightly darker than I wanted it to become.
Mix sauce components (everything except cornstarch, oil and eggs) at the very least many hours just before making this dish to enable flavors to mix. I didn't do this the very first time I made this dish and it just doesn't taste exactly the same! Rub some salt (to taste - between 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon.per breast) around the breasts so that the thicker meat on breasts will have an excellent flavor. Should you don't do this, you'll have a tasty sauce as well as the meat around the surface of chicken will taste great, but inner part is going to be very bland. Final time I created this I also utilised a little of garlic powder (can mix in with salt about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon total). Chicken should be salted with garlic and salt mixture A minimum of 12 hours, preferably 24 hours in advance to let maximum penetration of flavors.
Location a good amount of shortening or possibly a mixture of shortening and liquid vegetable oil in wok or deep fryer. Wait until you've breaded your chicken before heating shortening. Next, beat two eggs with about 1 1/2 cups water. After that, add about 2 tablespoon vegetable. oil to mixture and beat lightly. You are now prepared to bread chicken breasts with cornstarch. Dip each breast in cornstarch making sure it really is completely covered. Lightly shake off excess cornstarch and dip in egg mixture. Let breasts to drip excess liquid just before re-dipping in cornstarch mixture. This time, you would like a good coating, comparable to that of crispy beef--solid coating , but not as well thick. Set aside breaded breasts and heat oil. Oil needs to be heated to 360 degrees. You don't have to be exact, but oil ought to be Very good AND HOT, but not so hot that the batter on chicken may have a burned off-flavor from excess temp. during frying cycle. Depending around the size of one's fryer or wok, I would most likely fry 2--definitely no greater than three breasts at a time. To fry more than that would threat excess oil penetration since of a slowed oil temp. recovery. Fry breasts for about 12 minutes, or slightly longer should you be frying very big breasts. In case you uncover that breasts are browning also speedily throughout fry cycle, you'll be able to turn flame down after breasts have fried for about six minutes. By that time, there ought to be a superb crispy shell to safeguard chicken from oil penetration. Shortly after you've started frying chicken, heat up sauce and permit to simmer for any minute or so ahead of adding about 1 1/2 tablespoons (approximation) cornstarch mixed with water. After sauce thickens, add about 2 tablespoon hot oil and mix well. Eliminate sauce from fire and set aside.
When fried chicken breasts are carried out, permit them to set for about two minutes to ensure meat closest to bone is fully cooked.
Next chop every single chicken breast into about 3-4 pieces and pour a number of lemon sauce (to taste) more than chicken. Remaining sauce might be used to dip fried chicken pieces.
