Javanese Brown Sugar Roasted Chicken

This brown sugar roasted chicken is my mother’s recipe. I always make it when I miss my hometown. The taste is sweet, savory, slightly spicy, very suitable to be paired with warm rice. The cooking process is a bit long, but it’s worth trying because of the taste that will make an impression on the heart.
