Dry-Fried Lemon Chicken is a fragrant, savory dish inspired by Chinese dry-frying techniques. Chicken is stir-fried over relatively high heat until lightly crisp on the outside, then infused with the bright aroma of fresh lemon zest and juice. The result is a perfect balance of citrus freshness, umami richness, and a slightly smoky wok flavor—refreshing yet deeply satisfying.
