simmer 2 to 3 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add 2 teaspoons oil and soy
sauce. Remove from heat and set aside. Split chicken in halves down back
and cut into serving pieces. Reassemble on serving platter and garnish with
triangles of lemon peel which have been cut with serrated knife, if
desired. Bring reserved lemon sauce to boil again. Mix cornstarch with
small amount of cold water to make paste and stir into lemon sauce. Cook,
stirring, until thickened slightly. Spoon over chicken pieces.
