Chicken with lemon sauce
Chicken in batter with lemon sauce ( Gai Ma Nao in Thai )is a tasty dish that combines crispy fried chicken breast or chicken tights with a tangy and sweet chili sauce. Here’s a description of how it is typically prepared
1. Chicken Preparation: Start by choosing boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces or strips, whichever you prefer. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any desired spices or herbs such as paprika or garlic powder, or seasoning powder.
2. Batter Preparation: To make the batter, you’ll need a mixture of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and water. Whisk these ingredients together in a bowl until you achieve a smooth and thick consistency. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken but not too runny.
3. Frying the Chicken: Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot. Dip the seasoned chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Cook the chicken in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Once the chicken is fried Place the fried chicken in a serving dish and pour the sweet chilli sauce over the top. Gently toss the chicken in the sauce to ensure it is evenly coated serving: Chicken in batter with lemon sauce is best enjoyed immediately while the chicken is still crispy. Serve it hot as a main dish, accompanied by steamed rice, noodles, or a side of vegetables.
