I really loved this dish. I made it with skinless,boneless thighs and it was great. I only used a little oil to brown the chicken. Other than those two changes I made this exactly as written. Great tasting and easy. Thanks for a great recipe.

Really, really great chicken. When the chicken were done, I broiled it for about 2 minutes to make it slightly crispier. Other than that, followed instruction faithfully and was rewarded with absolutely marvellous dish. Thank you so much Chef Dee. Will make it regularly.

Chef Dee this is right on the money! Lemon chicken is my very favorite thing to order when we get Chinese and now I can make it at home. I made as posted except I didn't use anywhere near 2 cups of oil ~ more like 1/2 cup if that. I did notice after dinner that my oven was at 350º and I cooked it 40 minutes and the chicken was very tender. We cut it with our forks. Thanks so much for posting a recipe that I will be making over and over and over!!!!

Lemon chicken is DH's favorite and when I saw your recipe, I knew I had to make it. I flattened the chicken to promote even cooking and used less oil than the recipe called for. The only comment DH had after WOW was it could be a little sweeter; however, for my taste it was fantastic. This was served this with steamed broccoli and Easy Fried Rice Easy Fried Rice by Tracy K.

What an excellent recipe! Sheer perfection, from the thickness of the batter to the sweetness of the sauce! I find at the restaurants, there is usually more batter than chicken and the sauce is sometimes just to sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, just sprinkling the chicken with a little onion salt after frying. I cooked up a pot of half white/half brown rice, and tossed with scrambled eggs and soy sauce, just to have something a little salty. I will definitely be making this again, thanks for a delicious recipe!

This was just fantastic. The only meat my daughter likes from the chinese food place is the lemon chicken. Well she said that this was much better.That we don't have to buy it any more. My son and his girl friend agreed. I followed this recipe to the letter didn't make any changes. I'm glad it's fairly quick and easy because I'll be making it alot more....Thanks for the great recipe.

This recipe was excellent. My first attempt at a Chinese home-cooked meal went over very well. Thank you! Served with Oriental Green Beans #12981 and Vegetable Lo Mein #25048.

Loved this recipe. I followed the directions almost to the letter. The only change I made were minor: I used only 1 lemon and used only about 1/2 cup to fry the chicken. This was perfect. Not to sweet, not to tart. Really nice. Thank you.

We don't give 5 stars lightly over here, but when I have to fight off my roommate to leave some for a guest, and then fight my own urge to inhale it . . . well, this recipe deserves it. Easy, inexpensive, and addictively delicious.
