This is my version, although slightly more lemony, of a delightful traditional dish I have enjoyed at the King Bun, one of the best Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong. The master-chef, Leung King, has subtly transformed this well-known dish into a delicious, lemon-flavoured chicken. The batter is very light, and the sauce has a delicate lemon flavour, not too sweet or too thick. The lemon slices add a pleasing touch of colour.
