Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. In a mixing bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip the seasoned chicken pieces into the lightly beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated. Transfer them into a mixture of all-purpose flour and cornstarch, pressing lightly to create a crisp coating.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Gently add the coated chicken pieces in batches. Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and let it drain on paper towels.
- In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, sugar, and water over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer, cooking for around 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Once the sauce is ready, add the crispy fried chicken to the saucepan. Gently toss to coat each piece in the glaze. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and grated lemon zest. Serve warm.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice and zest. Double the lemon sauce ingredients for a saucier dish. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
