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

This is a fun recipe to try when you want to experiment. We use it for Chinese night in our house and everyone makes their own dish, like pot-luck. This should make four big rolls and about 40 or so pieces.

For this recipe, I assumed that we would end up with 40 pieces, and each serving is 5 pieces, for a pretty filling 2 carb exchanges.
