Have you ever had lemon chicken before? Who doesn't love sweet 'n' tangy, battered 'n' deep fried, Chinese-style lemon chicken?Here's the recipe for you.

I agree. Lemon chicken has that appeal. I've tasted lots of versions already. Some tasted strong. Some seemed bland. I prefer the version with the kick. The more na parang nakakalasing, the better.
I would love to try this kind dish,Mommy Dhemz!!Thanks for sharing the recipe ha!!^_^
