Lemon sauce is a perfect combination for this dish and although it is Chinese in origin, it works with virtually any other cuisine.

If you are bothered by deep-frying, then just pan fry the chicken instead.

Chef's notes

After making this many times, I prefer to serve the sauce as a side-dish rather than mix it up with the fried chicken as the batter tends to go soft.
