    Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. When ready to grill, place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning and brushing frequently with apricot mixture during last 15 minutes of cooking time.

  • Sugar can cause flare-ups on the grill. In this recipe we used reduced-sugar preserves to lower the risk of flare-ups and burned chicken. Keeping the cover on the grill also helps to minimize flare-ups.
  • Chili sauce is a condiment similar to ketchup made from tomatoes, dried chiles, onions, green peppers, vinegar, sugar and spices. Chili sauce is spicier and chunkier than ketchup and is stocked near the ketchup at the supermarket.
  • To cut about 130 calories and 11 grams of fat from each serving, remove the skin from the chicken before grilling it.
