    | 1. The batter should be about as thick as pancake batter, or just a little thicker. | 2. Dip chicken in batter and refrigerate for 10- 15 minutes (This will help the batter to adhere). | 3. Double deep fry the chicken, allowing at least 20 minutes between steps. | 4. (This is done to insure that you get a crispy, golden brown coating while the chicken cooks all the way through. The oil should be approximately 350º F for the first frying and about 375ºF for the second). | 5. Blot on paper towels to remove excess grease. | 6. When ready to add sauce, slice and put chicken on a serving platter lined with lettuce leaves and garnished with some cherry tomatoes. | 7. For the sauce: heat about a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet (preferably a heavy one- like cast iron or Calphalon); stir in scallion until it sizzles, about 30 seconds. | 8. Add lemon slices & stir 1 minute until sizzling. | 9. Add chicken stock, salt, and sugar. Stir in cornstarch. cook 5 minutes to thicken. | 10. Pour over sliced chicken. | 11. *Be careful not to burn or overcook the lemon or it will turn very bitter. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
