I remember thinking when I was cutting the chicken stripes for this dish  that it was produced by three pair of good cook hands so it should be (as they would say here down under) fair dinkum good food.

Not that the recipe was hard to make but at that day we were working almost like a food production line:  one was cutting, another one grinding beef, another one frying and me... well I was mainly in charge of baking but I wasn't having a good day in the kitchen (yes, it happens to everybody) and I manage to get distracted and swap the amount of sugar and flour in the recipe and at the end I could not turn the cake from the pan.  :-)

Luckily, my friends saved our meal and produced three awesome dishes.   Menu was:  twice cooked pork belly in tea sauce, crispy chicken with sweet lemon sauce and lamb lettuce cups - all served with a nice warm salad.

These Crispy Chicken almost didn't make it to the table!  We just could not wait and had most of it while cooking the other dishes.      I am sure it will also disapear in a blink of your table!

Enjoy it!
