Set in the oven to roast, basting often with the pan juices for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken quarters over, skin side up, add the sugar, and continue roasting and basting until the chicken is tender and golden brown. Pour the pan juices into a saucepan. Bring the juices to a boil. Reduce to a thick sauce, stirring all the while. Spoon part of the sauce over the chicken. Serve hot and pass the remaining sauce in a sauce boat.
