Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Flatten chicken breast and marinate in a refreshing mix of plenty of fresh lemon juice, salt, white pepper, and a little wine. Lemon acid breaks down meat fibers, making it incredibly tender.
- Coat thinly with sweet potato flour and deep-fry quickly at high heat to retain lemon flavor.
- Make 'Ningmeng Jiao Yan Fen' (Lemon pepper). Blend dried lemon peel powder (or citric acid powder), white pepper, salt, and a pinch of sugar.
- Heavily dust the hot, drained chicken with this lemon pepper. Right before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top as an 'extra lemon' boost.
