Description

Lemon Chicken is a light and vibrant dish where juicy chicken pieces are marinated and cooked in a lemon-infused sauce or glaze. The tanginess of fresh lemon juice, combined with subtle spices and herbs, creates a unique flavor profile — mildly spicy, sour, and incredibly appetizing.

In Indian-style Lemon Chicken, the dish often includes a tempering of garlic, green chilies, and curry leaves, giving it a South Indian flair. In Chinese-style versions, it can be deep-fried chicken tossed in a sweet and sour lemon glaze.

Whether served dry as a starter or with a semi-gravy style alongside rice or noodles, Lemon Chicken is a crowd-pleaser. It’s a refreshing change from heavier gravies, perfect for summer meals or as a zesty appetizer.
