A 10 star recipe!!!! OMG, we were only three, so I used three chicken breasts, thinking I'd have plenty and maybe some for DHs lunch... not a chance!!! I should have made the Lot!! Bearing mind that normally I don't even eat chicken, I was pretty well licking out the pot after I made the sauce, how embarrassing. I actually cubed the chicken even before marinating, getting ahead of myself a little, but otherwise, exactly as directed, and this is truly a very simple recipe. I used the marinating time to get everything else, the batter and the sauce, ready, and then it was just a case of cooking the chicken.. very easy .. and then the sauce.. ditto. I probably only used about a cup of oil, if that, since I had much less chicken to cook, but I used the full amount of batter and made the full amount of sauce, and was glad that I did..... oh, to die for!!! I would very happily make this again tonight and will almost certainly make it at the weekend, DD has friends staying and says I Have to make this for them! Thanks breezermom, for an incredible recipe!

OMG I would give you 10 stars if I could!! This recipe is a hidden gem, I cant believe it has only been rated once. This recipe needs to be discovered, that's how great it is. My family loved this. It was so easy to put together. I used 3 nice and big chicken breasts which gave me 2 1/2 lbs and I still followed the recipe. The perfect amount of lemon and sauce and the sauce was thickened to excellence. I am definitely going to make this recipe again in a few days. Thank you so much for this recipe

great. The sauce was to die for. Next time I will cut the chicken in pieces to make it easier. Capers would great too.

A fabulous recipe! And breezermom's instructions are so easy to follow that it was very easy to prepare. I used only a 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the marinade and would be confident to omit it completely next time. I also reduced the amount of sugar in the lemon sauce, but otherwise followed the recipe faithfully. A wonderful lemon chicken, one of my favourite dishes when I'm ordering Chinese food, but this lemon chicken surpassed any I've ever eaten, and was undoubtedly a lot healthier. The chicken pieces were superbly crispy and the sauce wonderfully delicious! Six of us enjoyed this with rice and cleaned up the lot! Everyone came back for seconds, and some for thirds till it was all gone. Some then had no room for dessert and said that they had no inclination for it either. A HUGE hit, breezermom, and certainly a recipe I'll want to make again and have already been asked to make again. Thank you so much for sharing it! Made for PRMR.

I cut this recipe in half since there were only 4 of us eating the night I served this with a combo of brown rice & peas ~ What little was left over was great as a cold snack, by the way! Used a homemade chicken broth & just 1/2 teaspoon of salt in the chicken broth mixture! All in all, A VERY SATISFYING CHICKEN DINNER! Definitely a keeper of a recipe!

Halved the recipe with no problem. I used a bottled lemon juice for the broth mixture and sliced lemon thinly for sauteeing and the dish still tasted and smelled lemony fresh. My son loved it. Thank you for posting.
