Asian Lemon Chicken

You know those quick and easy dinners that you can always count on? Yup. This best ever crispy lemon chicken, drizzled with a sweet and tangy lemon sauce, is sure to be a new family favorite!

Don’t you love seeing all the spring colors around? I’m not talking just about food, though it would be nice to focus on that, but everything looks green all around in the Bay Area. I love seeing this color palette. It really makes everything look like a beautiful painting and I love being outside.

Our lemon tree that we planted in late 2014 is finally growing and producing fruits. Well I don’t have a green thumb and I have no idea how long it takes for a small lemon tree to grow and produce fruit; but with the drought we had a while back, I am quite happy to finally see some lemons. So to celebrate spring, my #SundaySupper family and I are celebrating it with lemons. I am making Asian Lemon Chicken.

I first started by frying my buttermilk-coated chicken until it got crispy on the outside. To be sure to keep the inside moist, I used the twice-fried chicken technique. You can use chicken tenders to make this recipe, if you’d like. The one that I’m sharing today used bite-sized chicken, like popcorn chicken. Once they’re cooked through, you then coat them in lemon sauce. And there you go…crispy saucy lemony chicken. Yum!
