INSTRUCTIONS
LEMON SAUCE
Preperation: Pound each chicken breast half to flatten. Place chicken in a
bowl and add salt, pepper, and sherry; stir to coat. Set aside for 30
minutes.
To make lemon sauce, whirl pineapple slices in a blender until smooth. Then
combine with remaining sauce ingredients in a small saucepan; set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs ans sesame seeds. Dip chicken into
egg, then roll in bread crumbs, shaking off excess. Set aside for 5
minutes.
Cooking: Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of 2 inches. Place
over medium-high heat until oil reaches 350 - 360 degrees F. Add chicken, 2
pieces at a time, and deep fry fdor 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown
and meat is no longer pink when slashed, turning occasionally. Lift out and
drain on paper towels. Place on a heatproof dish and keep warm in a 200
degree F oven while deep-frying remaining chicken.
Meanwhile, cook sauce over medium-high heat, stirring, until sauce boils
and thickens slightly.
Cut chicken into strips and arrange on a serving platter. Pour sauce over
chicken and garnish edge of platter with additional pineapple slices. Serve
hot.
Tip: For a crispier crust, fry the chicken a second time before serving.
