This roasted chicken gets its sticky coating from the juices it releases while being baked.

Try this recipe the next time you have a leftover French loaf; the texture of bread pudding is better with day-old bread. You can also use fat-free fudge topping in place of the caramel topping.

Bake these over the weekend, and enjoy throughout the week for breakfast or a snack.

This is a quick & easy recipe that tastes great!
