this is one of my favorite ways to cook a chicken now..

i brined/marinated and injected my chicken the night before in:
3 cups of peach juice
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon pickling salt
and top the chicken after i injected it with:
2 tablespoon of homemade salt free steak spice
fresh cracked black pepper.

split,rubbed with more steak spice and ready for the grill

off the grill and ready to eat - it got a little dark on the edges because of the high sugar content. this is one of the best chickens i have ever eaten. i would recommend doing this.

this turns out really thick. it is sweet with a slight taste of bbq sauce and very sticky.
1 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup bbq sauce (try & use one that is neutral and not overpowering)
1/2 cup dried apricots, minced very small
1 tsp habanero hot sauce (use your favorite here or omit)
bring all ingredients to a slow boil, turn down and simmer until dried apricots are soft and rehydrated.
if you let this cool, it will turn to a jelly texture.
