Cover grill; cook 25 to 30 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with preserves mixture during last 15 minutes of cooking, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for drumsticks).

Expert Tips

To broil chicken, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning frequently and brushing with preserves mixture during last 15 minutes of broiling time.

Apricot preserves can be used in place of the peach preserves.

To add some heat to this recipe, add 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh jalapeño chiles or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the preserves mixture.

Any combination of chicken legs, thighs or breasts can be used in this recipe. Or simply use one type of chicken piece.

Serve fresh green beans and cornbread as accompaniments to the chicken.
