If you watched my previous orange chicken wings video, you would know that I used freshly squeezed orange juice. And this is what I usually do. I have been trying to reduce as much food waste as possible. As my grandma used to say, wasting food is like stealing from the poor.
That has been my motto or mission statement ever since I started this food journey. These are great for an afternoon snack or even as a rush breakfast. Yes, these are great with tea or coffee. Let's reduce food wastage together, 1 recipe at a time!
