I have Pocket Change Gourmet to thank for this great little recipe. I’m not sure why it’s called Shanghai Wings because you use Chicken Breasts, maybe it’s the way they slice the chicken. Who knows! It doesn’t really matter because this dish is YUM! I served it over fried rice, but if you were having a party you could serve the chicken pieces on a platter with the sauce beside it in a bowl. And even though it looks like a lot of steps, it’s really simple and quick to prepare. And I had most of the ingredients already in my pantry, all I had to do was duck out and grab a couple of fresh limes. A great weekend meal.
