Roast Sticky Chicken - Rotisserie Style

I love rotisserie chicken so I simply could not wait to try this recipe. We were in the middle of a deep freeze when I tried this so I opted to prepare it in the oven rather than on the grill. (You can bet I'll be out at the grill as soon as the weather warms up!) The flavor of the rub is really good - I think I will hide this recipe from my family to keep it all to myself!
