Step 1

In a bowl, toss the chicken with salt, pepper, chili flakes, cornflour, and a beaten egg. Mix everything well and set it aside to marinate for a bit.

Step 2

In a pan, combine the chicken stock, lemon slices, lemon juice, salt, pepper, chili flakes, sugar, and honey. If you like a little heat, add some green chillies—otherwise, feel free to skip them. Bring this mixture to a boil.

Step 3

Once it’s boiling, stir in about a teaspoon of cornflour slurry and cook until the sauce thickens. If you want, add a pinch of yellow food coloring and give it a good stir. Then turn off the heat and set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat some oil in a pan for frying. Cook the chicken pieces until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

Serve the chicken over rice and drizzle the delicious lemon sauce on top. Enjoy!
