Like the ratatouille she begged to try a few months ago, but refused to touch after it had been made. (I still like it; maybe I'll make it for my mom next time.)
Tonight's dinner is another one of those "Dishes Inspired by Disney" recipes:
Shopping List
- chicken legs (recipe calls for 8; we used 12)
- orange (we used a tangelo because that's what looked good; you need juice AND zest, so choose what makes sense for you)
- no sugar added orange marmalade
- rosemary sprigs
Everything else (salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil) we had in the house.

Ease of Preparation
Pretty simple, which is great for a recipe that's being plugged by a kids' cable channel.
My sister could definitely do this ... well, if the idea of pulling the skin off the chicken legs doesn't make her gag.

Specialty Equipment Required?
A fine grater to zest an orange; this is easy enough to find. Mine's a long MicroPlane brand, but you don't need to spend a lot of cash on one if you're not sure you'll use it.
A citrus reamer would be helpful in extracting the juice from the orange, but not 100% necessary.

Did my husband and daughter enjoy it?
The kid liked it, but the husband wasn't overfond of the citrus-balsamic glaze. He'd prefer it with plain barbecue sauce.

Regular rotation-worthy?
If we mix it up a bit, and don't pick a super-hot day to make it, sure.
RECIPE WIN.
