Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup chicken wings (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Start by placing the flour and salt in a large zip-lock bag. Shake the bag to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
   • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Working in batches, add a few pieces of chicken at a time to the bag. Shake the bag gently to coat the chicken evenly with the flour mixture.

2. Brown the Chicken:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of Crisco or another cooking oil of your choice.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the floured chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until it is nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

   • In a bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, water, and vinegar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
   • Pour this sauce mixture over the browned chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.

4. Simmer:

   • Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.

5. Thicken the Sauce:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. Measure the amount of liquid left in the skillet. Add water if necessary to make a total of 1 1/4 cups of liquid.
   • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the skillet with the remaining pan juices.
   • Cook and stir the sauce over medium heat until it becomes thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve:

   • Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it with the thickened sauce.
   • Serve the Lemony Chicken over a bed of steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
