What's for Dinner [Sticky Chicken]

I'm not quite sure how this recipe got the name Sticky Chicken, as it turns out beautifully crisp, but I'm not complaining....it's one of the few chicken dishes Hubby will eat.  Bestie B gave this recipe to me many moons ago.  We were in college and it was one of the few dishes we could cook.  In fact, she'd make it when cute boys would come over to study in hopes that the smell would convince them to stay for dinner...usually it worked.....
