1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock

salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
oil, for deep frying

1 Prepare the chicken: Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Â
2 Dip chicken thighs in the beaten eggs and dredge in cornstarch. Make sure all sides of the chicken are coated with cornstarch.

3 Heat oil in a deep pan. Deep-fry chicken thighs in batches until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
