Here they are - easy and delicious, spicy orange chicken wings, cleverly named (in my opinion anyway) after the spicy orange chicken served at Panda Express. Moreover, this recipe has nothing to do with killing, riding, eat, rub, growing wings on, or otherwise abuse the panda bear. We are right in the middle of the chicken wing eating season, and with the super Bowl just around the corner (Go Jets!), I thought it was time for a new adventure of the wing. The recipe could not be simpler to make, and if you can somehow manage to whip up a batch of these chicken wings fried oven to glaze, you will be sticky finger the sky.
Since this was my first time trying this, I went very basic, and was very happy with the results. It was very similar in taste and texture to orange glaze Panda, and therefore without gloppy cornstarch, which is very pleasant to cold.
The next time I'll try the additions of ginger and garlic, and maybe some seeds toasted sesame. Meanwhile, I really hope you give these a try and please let me know how your particular variations emerge. Have fun!
