Sweet and Sticky Orange Chicken

I found this recipe while I was searching for a recipe for my monthly Cooking Club meeting.  (If you missed it, check out this post about starting a Cooking Club.)  Our monthly theme was "Sweet and Savory: the best of both worlds".  The recipe is the only one of it's kind in my recipe database and offers a nice break from our usual menu.  Enjoy:
