Spicy Orange Chicken Wings Recipe

I love making appetizers that are two or more dishes in one. Take chorizo potato bites for instance: they're "deviled eggs meet potato skins that also meet chorizo potato tacos." When it comes to snack food, hybridize all you want. That means not choosing between spicy popcorn chicken, sesame-orange chicken and chicken wings, because you can make all three in one delicious, deep-fried bite. Garnish these spicy orange chicken wings with sliced scallions and sesame seeds for a satisfying party snack.
