Roasted Sticky Chicken

This recipe was outstanding, easy to make and SO juicy,tender and flavorful! I made it for myself and my husband and he had thirds. We still had plenty left over - warmed with some juice and served on warm onion rolls on day two and cold sandwiches on day three. I will definitely make this again and again. The meat just fell of the bone! chinasmom2000
