Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll crescent roll dough onto a silicone baking mat or lightly greased work surface and separate into 4 rectangles; firmly press diagonal perforations with your fingers to smooth them out.
• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture evenly over rectangles.
• Roll each rectangle into a log starting from the longer side; cut each log into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange mini cinnamon rolls close to one another on the baking sheet.
• Bake the mini cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer baked rolls to a plate and set aside to cool for 1 minute.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl to make a smooth icing. Pour icing over warm rolls.

• Open crescent roll dough and carefully unroll each piece (refer to images above). Working with one piece at a time lay out and bring four triangles together on lightly greased work surface. Pinch portions and perforated seems together. Carefully turn dough over and repeat on opposite side.
• Roll sealed dough out to about a 7 by 7-inch square. Brush with 1 Tbsp butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar, spread out even. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Start on one end and roll dough fairly snug to opposite end to create a log shape. Cut (side to side, not just pressing down, using a sharp knife) into portions.
• Transfer to a well greased mini muffin tin. Repeat process with remaining crescent roll dough, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake in preheated oven until just golden brown, about 9 - 11 minutes. Let cool just a minute or two, run knife around edges while still warm and transfer to a wire rack set over paper towels.
• For the icing: in a mixing bowl whisk together powered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
• Transfer to a small resealable bag an cut a small corner or just use a spoon, drizzle over tops. These are best served warm but if you have leftover just store in an airtight container.

CINNAMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with ground cinnamon, seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. (Note: You can be liberal with the seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper; however, the cinnamon should only be a dusting and not clumped.)
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

CINNAMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container.
• Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350°F and have ready a large roasting pan, 9" x 13".
• Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate.
• Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until it has reduced to 1 cup and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
• Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet.
• Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top.
• Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use).
• Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.
• Garnish with lemon wedges.
