This is an authentic recipe for Cantonese lemon chicken. \u00a0Mix the egg, water, soy sauce, rice wine and the 3 tsp cornflour in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chicken, mix well and set aside for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Pre-heat the oven to 180C.<\/p>\n
Sift the extra cornflour and plain flour together onto a plate. Roll each piece of chicken in the flour, coating each piece evenly and shake off the excess. Place the chicken in a single layer on a plate ready to be fried.<\/p>\n
Heat the oil for deep-frying in a wok or large pan. When it is hot enough, fry the chicken in batches until it is a light golden colour. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Arrange in one layer on a baking tray and transfer to the oven where it will finish cooking while you make the sauce.<\/p>\n
