    Brush on both sides with basting sauce.
  • 7
    Grill chicken for 12 to 15 minutes on one side, brushing with basting sauce from time to time.
  • 8
    Turn chicken over.
  • 9
    Brush again with sauce.
  • 10
    Grill chicken for another 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is done and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
