Pour over the chicken then toss with a spatula (or your hands) so that the pieces are nicely coated and so the sauce fills the underside of the chicken.

step 5
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Baste until after the hour mark, then let it caramelize. Also, keep an eye on it — the sauce chars quickly especially at the end.
