Lemon Chicken

A really quick and easy version of the traditional tart and lemony classic found in most Chinese restaurants

Preparation:

Place chicken in a bowl and add the soy sauce, spring onion, ginger and garlic – mix well. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
Add the egg and toss to coat. Drain off the excess egg. Put the cornflour in a plastic bag, add the chicken and shake to coat in the cornflour.
Deep-fry the chicken in a wok of oil at a medium heat (approx 190’C). The chicken should cook to golden brown in 3-4 minutes. Add half the chicken to the oil, piece by piece and cook until brown. Lift out with a slotted spoon, wire sieve and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat until all the chicken is fried.
Warm the lemon sauce through on the hob, arrange the chicken on a plate and drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve with fluffy steamed rice and soy sauce.

Plastics in contact with food need to comply with the ‘materials and articles in contact with food regulations’. This is to ensure safety and that the packaging does not harm the consumer’s health. Here at Blue Dragon we check all of our packaging materials in this regard. With regard to clingfilm and plastic bags used in cooking you would need to ensure that they are food grade and safe for use. This is the responsibility of the manufacturer and sometimes a small symbol is used to declare this and it looks like a fork and glass.

Hi, I have tried this recipe many times before and always a winner but have been told recently plastic bags and clingfilm are a health issue! Is this true and if so what can you advise. Chilli dipping sauce is addictive!!
