Mama's Orange Chicken image

Sweet, tangy, and bursting with flavor we loved this orange chicken. Vickiala hit it out of the park with these fantastic wings. There is a lot of breading mixture and sauce leftover. You'll have enough to make a double batch of chicken. Good thing, because you'll want to make extra. This would be great with chicken tenders too.
