  2. In a wok heat up enough oil for deep frying.
  3. Coat the marinated chicken thigh with cornflour, shake off excess flour and deep fry in hot oil till golden brown on both sides, drain, cut into bite-size pieces and put on a serving plate.

Note: Lemon chicken is a very popular Chinese dish not only in restaurants but all hawker food stalls.  There are many ways to cook this dish and I've tasted the different types and each have their unique taste but still sums up as Lemon Chicken.
