I love this recipe but have not made it for ages and its such a shame as it really does help when you hit the weekend and want a takeaway but don’t want to undo all your hard work. However you need to think ahead as the chicken needs marinating in a sauce and the longer you leave it the better it will taste.

This is a really simple recipe once you get the basics under your belt and that really means taking time with the sauce which takes time to reduce and thicken so have patience. Or you could cheat and add 1 teaspoon of cornflour with cold water and add that to the sauce and it will thicken quickly.

The other top tip is not the crush the cornflakes to dust leave some big bits and smaller bits as this really helps the cornflakes stick to the chicken or you can use breadcrumbs if you wish.

Lemons can be really sharp and tart so member to taste them as this will really determine how the lemon sauce tastes – once the sauce is reduced taste and adjust as needed. I would suggest if its too tart add more honey or small amounts of lemon curd until you get the sweetness you like.
