Goodbye Year of the Horse and Welcome to the year of the Wooden Sheep!
It was Chinese New Year yesterday and we had this Orange Chicken Wings inspired by the Chinese Orange Chicken. As usual, I read what’s instore for us in the coming year..
“In 2015 life will be a win-win situation for you; after all, this period will be controlled by your patron the Wooden Sheep (Ram, Goat). You’ll be lucky practically in everything and everywhere starting with minor household matters and finishing with your cherished dreams and wishes. If you’ve been begging God to give you love, full wallet and health for your family, then you shouldn’t even have the slightest doubt that you’ll get it all – the Ram will first pour chocolate all over its own life and help other signs afterwards. If you want to get a better picture of how lucky you’ll be, simply think of yourself as a kid who got a whole toy store as a birthday gift. However, the horoscope forewarns you: some efforts will still have to be made in order for you to achieve life success.“
Looks like it’s gonna be a lucky year for us born in the Year of the Sheep. I’m already thankful for every blessing that we received last year specially moving into our new home and peanutbutter♥ coming home for good. I was sad when I had an Anembryonic Pregnancy during the middle of the year but I guess it wasn’t just meant to be. I got pregnant again after a month and now I am halfway through my pregnancy. Yay!
Speaking of the five-month old bun in my oven… We listened to her heartbeat today.
She’s really very active. I can feel her doing somersaults inside my tummy and during the most quiet times of the day too! My doctor said I can have an ultrasound anytime .. I’m very excited and thinking of having it next week together with peanutbutter♥ and Ykaie. Ykaie is very excited to know whether she’s gonna have a brother or a sister. I will definitely keep you posted and we just might have a “Guess My Baby’s Gender Giveaway” here soon.

These orange chicken wings look droolworthy, Peach.
Thank you Angie!
I hope your baby stays healthy inside you. Can’t wait to find out if the gender of your baby. I love chicken wings btw.
Thanks Mayen!
Wow, these look delicious- I love orange chicken but never had it on wings- I love wings too so this would be a winner!
I’m sure you’ll love this Arman!
Peachy,
Congratulations on your growing wee one! I wish you a safe and healthy pregnancy–it is magical to hear that heartbeat and feel the gymnastics.
This chicken looks like a wonderful way to use the plentiful citrus that’s available now.
Thanks!
Thank you Kirsten!
They look yummy! Mahilig pa naman ako sa wings, although never pa ako naka-try ng may orange sauce. Nacurious tuloy ako. 🙂
Thanks Edelweiza!Ako rin mahilig sa wings eh.
im doing this for lunch!!! thanks for the idea and good luck with the little bun in your oven 😉
Thanks Sarah! Hope you like it.
Ooooh, orange chicken! A friend of mine gave me her recipe a few years ago but I wasn’t able to follow through with the cooking. Glad I found this!
This is ideal when you can’t find chicken thigh fillets…heehee
Love the photos and the chicken too… 🙂 Will definitely make one soon! Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Joy!
Wow, can’t wait to see your little bun soon!
me too!
Looks absolutely delicious! I love dishes with the orange as a highlighted ingredient.
Thanks Louisa!
I tried orange chicken before, but it was too saucy and sour..:( Okay, I will try version naman.:) I tried your curry eh before, my kids loved it! 🙂
I hope they love this too.
Hi peachy, just a quick advise. Why not put a youtube channel then do a simple cooking videos? Panalo yun di ba?
Thanks for the advice! Panalo nga.. subukan ko..
Wow, Peachy, 5 months along already? Exciting times! 😀 Those chicken wings look soooooo good. I love reading your recipes! Can’t wait to make this for the boys.
Thanks Patty! Super bilis no?
Is the taste similar to Lemon Chicken? Or it seems like it’ll be sweeter.
This year, in general, is said to be peaceful and light. Goodluck with the pregnancy and I wish you a safe delivery in the nearer future.
I think it’s a bit sweeter. Thanks Russ!
This recipe looks so delicious. I don’t normally cook but I think I should give this a try 🙂 Oh and congrats! wishing you a healthy baby! 🙂
Thanks Julianne
This looks delicious that the orange chicken from a fastfood I know.

Aw how adorable that you heard your babys heartbeat, I cannot wait to experience motherhood for myself in the near future. Now this recipe looks absolutely delicious and I’m not normally a fan of orange chicken. It’s such a rarity to find quality orange chicken unfortunately, but maybe I should just start making my own.
I’m sure you’ll love this recipe.
Orange chicken is one of my boyfriend’s favorite meals. I’ll have to make these with him!
I’m sure he’ll love it.
Those look absolutely delicious! Love your choice of flavour combinations!
Thanks Michelle!
Oh my word, this looks amazing! I bet even my picky kiddos would love this!
Thanks Erin!

Nothing better than a nice orange chicken, one of my favorite dishes!

I don’t eat meat, but I will definitely have to share the link to your recipe with my mom. She would love it!
Oh I hope she does.
This looks such a treat for me! Chicken wings and rice are the perfect combo!
Yup, it sure is.
These orange chicken pieces look so delicious!!! I really want to try to make this!
It’s so easy to make.
Looks like an easy recipe to follow. We tried something like this before but we used Lemon instead of Oranges. It’s a bit strong for our taste so I will try the orange next time.
Yes, it is a very easy recipe. Hope you enjoy making it.
My husband is ALL about chicken wings right now..he’s made a ton of different recipes. I’m sure he’ll love to try this one too!

Thanks Chrystal! 50 wings! LOL!
These look so delicious! I’m trying to get my kids to try chicken wings but they don’t like the sauce I use, I’ll try this one with them!
