Orange chicken meatballs

And these bites of chicken can pull double duty. Make them a little bigger, serve them over rice and call them dinner. Or, make them a little smaller, pile them in a dish with some toothpicks on the side and call them an appetizer.

I went the dinner route and I kept the leftovers in the fridge. Later, I may or may not have plucked one out of the container every time I passed the fridge as a little snack, so maybe they serve a third purpose, as well.
