Limehouse chicken is a classic British dish that is typically served with fried rice or noodles. The dish is believed to have originated in the Limehouse district of London in the 19th century, and it is thought to be a fusion of British and Chinese cuisine. Limehouse chicken is typically made with chicken breast or thigh meat, which is marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, garlic, ginger, and other spices. The chicken is then coated in flour or cornstarch and fried until it is golden brown and crispy. The fried chicken is then tossed in a sweet and sour sauce, which is typically made with pineapple, ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. Limehouse chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
