    Ingredients
    • 700 g Chicken Legs
    • 1-2 lemons (to make 1 tablespoon of lemon juicy and some slices)
    • 1 cup chopped coriander
    • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic (add more garlic to suit your taste preferences)
    • 1/3 cup oil (more or less to your liking)
    • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chilli (more or less to your liking)
    Instructions
    • Boiling the chicken: Start by filling a pot with enough water to cover the chicken by about 2cm. Place the pot over medium-high heat and boil the chicken for about 10-15 minutes. To check if the chicken is done, take a chopstick or fork and poke it into the thigh. If the juices run clear, you’ve got perfectly cooked chicken.
    • Frying garlic: As the chicken boils away, grab a small saucepan and fry the chopped garlic in oil until it turns golden.
    • Mixing the sauce: Combine fried garlic and oil from Step 2, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, and chilli in a small bowl. Give it a good stir until everything’s beautifully blended.
    • Preparing the chicken: Dive those boiled chicken pieces into ice water for 5-10 minutes to lock in their juiciness. Then, shred the chicken into pieces.
    • Mixing it up: Throw in the lemon pieces, fresh coriander, shredded chicken, and sauce into the bowl. Now, give them all a jolly good mix. Let the flavors mingle and dance together. Your Chinese Chicken Salad with Lemon and Coriander is ready to dazzle your taste buds.
