Tips:

  • For a crispier chicken, marinate it in the lemon-soy sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken so that it has plenty of room to brown.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat so that it browns quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or wok with chicken, or it will steam instead of brown.
  • Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the lemon sauce in the same skillet or wok that you cooked the chicken in.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce.
  • Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
