HAPPY ORANGE MAPLE CHICKEN
I decided to make a sweet chicken dish. I had just made a wonderful "Boozy Maple" chicken recipe that I got from a fellow 'Zaar-ite...( Thank you Mirj!!) and I wanted to tweak it some. So I decided to use maple syrup and orange juice (in place of the booze in the other recipe). It worked out just fine!I had time to let them marinate for an hour before cooking, but I believe it would be fine just baking it without the marinating time. You could also use any other chicken or turkey that you like.

BETTY'S ORANGE MAPLE ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS
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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If you can, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, be sure to give each piece enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat.
- Use a good quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a dark, amber-colored syrup with a rich, maple flavor.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Maple orange chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is hot and crispy, and the sauce is still flavorful.
Conclusion:
Maple orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks.
