Pan-fried Chicken with Lemon Sauce

This pan-fried chicken with lemon sauce will surely appeal to your appetite. You know I’m obsessed with fruit cooking. The sour taste of lemon cuts through the chicken meat. You won’t feel the meat too heavy for stomach. I used skinless chicken thighs with no fat at all. You can easily get them from any supermarkets, so it’s very handy. But if you’d like to enjoy crispy fried chicken skins, you can keep them of course.
