Ghost City Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Last updated 2026-11-13 — The spicy chicken nuggets of Fengdu are also known as white-sliced chicken and are a well-known home-style dish in Sichuan. The preparation is very simple: the chicken is boiled in plain water, cut into small pieces, and then tossed in a mixture of chili oil, MSG, sesame oil, sugar, ground Sichuan peppercorns, and soy sauce. The chicken in Fengdu is cooked but not overdone—the meat remains firm yet can be easily torn apart with the teeth, making it easy to eat. The dish boasts a bright red color, tender texture, rich flavor, bold spiciness, and a hint of sweetness, making it a perfect accompaniment to drinks or rice.
