This Crispy Lemon Chicken features golden, crunchy chicken pieces coated in a glossy, tangy-sweet lemon sauce that is absolutely irresistible. Inspired by Chinese-Canadian restaurant favourites, the chicken is double-fried for maximum crunch, then tossed in a fresh lemon sauce made from scratch. The contrast of the crispy coating and the bright, zesty sauce is pure magic.
