Have you ever been to a restaurant and tried something that you just couldn't forget about and just HAD to go back for again and again because you just couldn't figure out what was in it that made it so tasty? Well, this is a dish that had me curious ever since I saw a recipe for it; even before I tried it.
Need I say how I felt after I had it? I don't think so. I tried many different recipes, but just wasn't satisfied until I came across this one posted by Ejergans from Las Vegas on Grouprecipes.com. I still can't put my finger on the exact thing that was missing all those other times I cooked lemon chicken, but this one definitely hit the spot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp canola oil

the juice of one lemon
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp corn starch
