- 6 free-range chicken legs
- For the marinade
- Zest and juice of 2 oranges

Method
Put the chicken legs in a shallow dish. Mix the marinade ingredients, pour over the chicken and leave to marinate for 1 hr or overnight.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put the chicken pieces over a medium heat on the BBQ and cook, turning frequently, for 30 mins, or until the juices run clear and the chicken is golden.
Top tip for making Fragrant orange-marinated chicken legs
If there's any leftover chicken, strip the meat from the bones and chill - then use in salads the following day.
