Betty's Orange Maple Roasted Chicken Legs image

Be prepared to use your fingers for this one! Sticky, succulent and delicious. The orange is the dominant flavour followed by the maple and thyme. An inexpensive meal for the family, my four children love this meal. This recipe does need marinading time. Overnight is best though a few hours will do at a pinch.
