Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe

Filipino Style Recipe: Honey lemon chicken recipe is popular among Chinese restaurants. Normally the chicken comes fried in a crispy batter and the sauce is a blend of honey and lemon thickens with cornstarch. I can say that North Park’s version is the best boneless honey-lemon chicken that I’ve tried so far. I love the sweetness of honey jives with tangy taste of the lemon.
