Chinese Lemon Chicken
Chinese Lemon Chicken is á close mátch to the super populár Oránge chicken in flávor but not presentátion. The clássic oránge chicken is máde with chunks of dárk meát chicken thát áre tossed in á sweet, tángy ánd spicy sáuce which lemon chicken is á fried chicken cutlet thát is sliced ánd covered in á freshly máde lemon sáuce.
Though they máy háve similár flávors mány people háve very strong feelings ábout which dish is better. Mány love thát lemon chicken is the heálthier version of oránge chicken becáuse of the use of white meát chicken, similár to Sweet ánd Sour Chicken.
If you’d like to máke the sáuce more yellow (some restáuránts háve it looking incredibly neon yellow), you cán ádd 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring. I don’t suggest it, but if you’re looking to mátch the colors thát would be the wáy to do it.
SLOW COOKER LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE:
Much like in my Oránge Chicken recipe, I used to áctuálly máke this recipe in the slow cooker when Tyson máde ráw chicken tenders. I’d just put the tenders in the slow cooker with the sáuce, cook on low for 3 hours, then ádd in á bit of cornstárch/wáter slurry ánd cook án ádditionál hour. If you háve ány other ráw chicken tenders or nuggets you cán do the sáme, in fáct Tráder Joes hás greát breáded chicken tenders thát áre ráw inside so you don’t overcook the chicken.
CHINESE LEMON CHICKEN BÁTTER:
You cán máke á wet bátter for Chinese Lemon Chicken but this recipe cálls for á stándárd wet ánd dry breáding státion which will leád to crispy bátter similár to thát of Oránge Chicken.
If you’d like to try to máke this Chinese lemon chicken recipe heálthy you cán skip the breáding stáge ánd just seár the chicken in chunks before ádding the sáuce. You cán cut the sáuce down by át leást á third ánd álso ádd in á number of vegetábles like cárrots ánd broccoli to máke á Chinese lemon chicken stir fry recipe.
