Chinese Lemon Chicken making:

Clean the chicken, cut it into small/medium pieces. Add the seasonings,pepper,salt,cumin,soy sauce and if you prefer to add anything else. Leave it over night in the fridge..
Next day, add 2 eggs,and the flour and mix them. Put the chicken back in the fridge for about 15-20minutes..
Meanwhile the chicken is in the the fridge, start boiling the oil as it takes time..
Now fry the chicken in a deep pan and put it on the side untill sause is ready..
Sause, use a small pan. Put the oil, lemon zest, chicken stock (I used the powder)sugar,salt and honey. Mix well. Put the lemon slices and leave the sause to boil for about 30minutes..
Remove the lemon slices,add the slurry, i added alittle more flour and keep mixing to make the flour dissolve. Add sesame seeds,and pour the sause on the chicken..
Use a colander to keep the sause without any lemon pieces/zest. The sause is ready..

The lemon sauce was absolutely divine; not sickly sweet as in Chinese restaurants but light, clear with a rich citrus flavor. I also used a dutch oven to fry the pieces.
