Ingredients 1 quart buttermilk 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon) 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, tenders removed, cut in strips 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup cornstarch Vegetable oil, for frying For Sauce: 1 (11-ounce) jar lemon curd 1/4 cup chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce Directions Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large frying pan by 1/4 to 1/2-inch depth. Heat oil to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk buttermilk and zest together in a medium bowl. Add chicken and set aside. Sift together flour and cornstarch...
