The universally loved crispy chicken – from Austrian schnitzel and Korean fried chicken to the westernised lemon chicken at your local Chinese restaurant – is found in all corners of the world. Lemon chicken is the inspiration for this dish, where a sweet lemony sauce coats crispy fried chicken pieces. This Middle Eastern version uses a cheat’s preserved lemon paste and plenty of fresh lemon to brighten it up.
