  2. 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sauce

  1. 1/3 cup lemon juice
  2. 1/4 cup honey
  3. 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  4. 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  5. 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel or orange peel
  6. 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Salsa

  1. 1/4 cup diced mango
  2. 1/4 cup golden raisins
  3. 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  4. 1 tablespoon plum sauce
  5. 1 tablespoon chopped crystallized ginger
  6. Cooking oil for frying
  7. Cornstarch for dry-coating
  8. 1 egg, lightly beaten
  9. 3/4 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
  1. Place chicken pieces between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly with flat side of a mallet until about l/4 inch thick. Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes. Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan; set aside. Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
  2. Place a frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons oil, swirling to coat sides. Dredge chicken in cornstarch; shake to remove excess.
