Several years ago, Chili’s Restaurant served Shanghai Wings, they have since taken them off the menu, so I’m really glad I have the recipe so I can enjoy these at home. This is a great recipe to have on hand because it is so easy to change the sauce that is served with it. This is our go to recipe when I want to have plain chicken nuggets. The paprika and cayenne pepper in the coating has just enough kick to let you know it’s there without over powering the chicken. This can easily be a weeknight meal for the kids.
