    Recipe



    Heat oil 1-1 1/2" deep to 360'.
    Beat remaining ingredients (except Lemon sauce and lemon slices) with hand beater until a smooth batter. Dip chicken pieces one at a time into the batter and then deep fry several at a time until golden brown, turning once, drain on paper towels.

    Arrange on a heated platter and keep warm till all pieces have been cooked. Prepare the Lemon sauce and pour over chicken and serve over rice and pea pods on the side. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
