Apricot Barbecued Chicken

Kree's Note:

This looks so scrumptious and sweet, I can't wait to try it. It's from the Jan/Feb issue of Taste of Home's Quick Cooking magazine, and it's supposed to be very kid-friendly!

Oh Kree...I made you BBQ chicken for dinner, I just cannot say enough about it, it was so delicious!. I made mine with thighs and legs, and doubled the sauce recipe, (added more garlic then stated) what a wonderful dinner we had. I served it with brown rice....this chicken recipe is is highly reccomended, and so easy to put together. Thank you Kree for posting, I will be making this often...KC :-)

Saved dinner! I went to make a recipe that I made eons ago, but must have copied it wrong and it was a mess! Was low on time and ingredients, and really wanted a sauce with apricot preserves. Some how I found this! And some how I had everything for it! Including about 1/4 cup honey bbq sauce left. Made with drums and Fiance thought it was great! Little did he know I scrambled 30 minutes earlier to just get something in the oven!! Very good! Very simple!
