Tips for the recipe - Do not allow the chicken pieces to sit (not even few minutes) once it gets coated with the flour. Fry it immediately or else it will affect the crispiness & texture of the chicken pieces. Use light yellow color lemon(ripe) for good taste or else you may feel some bitter taste in the recipe. Also do not add the lemon juice before the sauce is ready.
