Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Place chicken pieces in baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until no pink remains in chicken and juices run clear.

In medium saucepan, combine remaining ingredients; mix well and bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes, until sauce is reduced by half.

Preheat grill to medium heat. Coat chicken with sauce and grill 5 minutes per side, basting frequently with sauce. Serve with remaining sauce for dipping.
