Spicy Apricot Grilled Chicken

While trying to come up with ideas on how to use up the apricot preserves I purchased, I stumbled across this recipe on Grilling.com.  OMG, can you say yum?  I mean, never mind how good the chicken wings actually looked, but the list of ingredients was right up my alley.  All the flavors I use and love so often.... just mixed with some apricot preserves.  Although, I continued my search for ideas for a little while longer, I knew, without a doubt, this would be the one I would make.  And it did not disappoint!!

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the chicken, until well combined.  Rinse chicken and pat dry with a paper towel.  Place chicken in resealable bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over.  Seal bag and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Preheat grill to 375 degrees F.  Clean and oil grill grates.  Remove chicken from marinade and discard.  Place the chicken over direct heat and grill 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.  Enjoy!
