    Recipe



    To prepare batter, lightly beat egg white with a fork. Add cornstarch,
    baking soda, baking powder, and water. Mix thoroughly. Set aside at room
    temperature for at least 5 hours, or as long as overnight.

    Skin and bone chicken breast. Cut into pieces 1 1/2" by 1/2". Place
    chicken in bowl. Add seasoning ingredients to chicken. Mix well.

    Cut lemon into thin slices. Cut each slice into half to make about 10 half
    slices. Combine sauce ingredients in small pan. Add lemon slices and bring
    to a boil. Stir in thickener. Cook for 30 seconds. Set aside.

    Heat oil in a wok or large skillet to 325 degrees. Add chicken pieces to
    batter and coat thoroughly. Drop chicken, a piece at a time, into hot oil,
    stirring after each addition to keep chicken from sticking to pan bottom.
    Deep-fry for 3 minutes. Remove chicken and drain on paper towels. Arrange
    on serving platter.

    Meanwhile, reheat sauce (including lemon slices) to a boil. Pour over
    chicken and serve.
