Lemony Chicken Drumsticks

I was browsing through and i saw this recipe with Lemon Chicken as the name. It sure does sound interesting to me. Besides this, I've this friend who's  a Canadian told me that there's this chinese restaurant that he patronises served Orange Chicken and i thought to myself, why not experiement on lemon first and next i'll move on to orange? 

So today i did the lemon version. Well i wanted it to be spicy lemon chicken but it didnt quite turn out that way. Perhaps the coating powder i used wasnt as spicy as i expect, perhaps i should add in more chilli powder in it.

I marinated the chicken with rice wine, light soy sauce and egg yolk for a few hours n just before fryin, i coated the drumsticks with the spicy fryin powder i bought and set it aside for bout 5-10 mins to avoid the oil from lookin cloudy. 

As for the sauce, i used freshly squeezed lemon juice, some grated rind of lemon, chicken broth, soft brown sugar ( i used both the soft brown sugar and honey) and some cornflour to thicken the sauce. It has jst the right amount of tartness for me but it was a lil too lemony for mom n granny's like. For those who like it on the sweet side, feel free to experiment on the sugar or honey added in, also a more concentrate chicken broth is also good. My chicken broth was kinda deconcentrated so perhaps due to that the sauce is more tangy than it should be.

Next time around, am definitely gonna try a different cookin method in preparing this dish. Pan- fryin and replacing the drumsticks with strips of breast meat minus the rice wine and more chilli powder might jst give this dish more kick to it. Mayb i can try it out on my next project - Orange Chicken, for i've 6 more drumsticks left in the fridge.
