INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash and seed the peppers.  Cut each one into strips about 2 x 1/4
inches. Cut the boneless chicken breast into strips about 3 x 1/2
inches.  Prepare the batter by mixing in a bowl the flour, cornstarch,
baking  powder, salt, water and oil. Stir until smooth.  Cut half of
the lemon into thin semicircular slices. Prepare the lemon  sauce by
squeezing the juice from the other half of the lemon and  combining in
a cup with the sugar and water. Stir well.  Combine about 1 teaspoon
cornstarch and about 2 teaspoon water in a  second cup.  This mixture
will be used later to thicken the lemon  sauce. Dip each piece of
chicken in the batter and let the excess  drip back into the bowl.
Deep fry the chicken in small batches.  It is best to use an electric
deep fryer, but if this is not available, heat about 1 quart of
vegetable oil in a wok or deep pan until it is very hot. Then add
about 5 pieces of chicken at a time to the oil and cook, covered, for
about 5 minutes or until a golden brown crust forms. Check once a
minute to see if the pieces are sticking together, and if so,  separate
them. After each batch is finished, set aside on a paper  towel to
drain off the excess oil.  Cook the lemon sauce by pouring the
lemon-sugar mixture into a  saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add the
cornstarch-water mixture and  stir until thickened.  To please the eye
as well as the palate, mix up the chicken and  colored pepper pieces
and pile on a plate. Top with sprigs of parsley  and place the lemon
slices around the outside of the plate. Put the  hot lemon sauce in a
cup so that people can pour it over their  chicken just before eating,
to keep it crispy.  Serve with rice.  Don't forget to start the rice so
that it will be  done at the same time as the chicken.  A nice-looking
dish for company.  The deep-fried chicken pieces can  also be served as
party snacks instead of junk food.  NOTES    Crispy chunks of chicken
in sweet lemon sauce. Yield: Serves 2-3.  : Difficulty:  With an
electric deep fryer, easy; without one,  moderate. : Time:  45 minutes.
: Precision:  Measure the batter ingredients.  : Andy Tanenbaum  :
