Season Chicken: Start by lightly seasoning the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. This simple step enhances the flavor, preparing your chicken for delicious frying.

Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cornstarch, and flour. Whisk together until you achieve a smooth batter, which will give the chicken its fabulous crunch once fried.

Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the batter, making sure it’s evenly coated. This will create a delightful, crispy outer layer that’s essential for that perfect bite.

Fry Chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the battered chicken pieces and fry until they’re golden brown and crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Simmer Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, chicken stock, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Simmer over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Thicken Sauce: Create a cornstarch slurry with a little water and add it to the simmering sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy—just perfect for drizzling over your chicken.

Combine Chicken and Sauce: Toss the crispy chicken pieces in the thickened sauce until they’re well coated or drizzle the sauce over the top when serving. Both options taste fantastic!
