Lemon Chicken

Lemon Chicken

When I was a kid I loved MSG, I mean Chinese food! Eventually I became more interested in the more “authentic” Chinese food and would order off the “Other” menu that they brought to those who know to ask for it – a menu without chicken balls. Anyway, I came up with these wings, similar to my honey garlic and BBQ deep-dried cauliflower wings from my recipe book. These wings tasted just like lemon chicken! They were sweet and tangy, a new favourite! And they are a quick and easy recipe to make.
