    Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes.

    Coat a cold cooking grate of grill with cooking spray, and place on grill. Preheat grill to 350 - 400°. Grill chicken, covered with lid, 5 to 10 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce grill temperature to 250° to 300°; grill chicken, covered with lid, for 20 to 30 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, place charcoal to one side. Use the hot side for the first part of grilling and the empty side for the second part of grilling.

Stir in chili sauce, next 3 ingredients, and 1/3 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes. You can store this in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
