Chicken With Plum Barbecue Sauce

This comes from my eat well, stay well cookbook. This is a tangy-sweet, sticky way to fix chicken. Yum. I can't always find plum jam, so i use currant. This freezes well too. I mix everything together in a bowl, add the chicken, toss to coat and then put in labeled ziploc bags. Thaw before broiling.

Steps

In a medium saucepan , combine the tomato sauce , jam , vinegar , garlic , hot sauce , ginger and salt.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer , cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Uncover and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon and the flavors have blended.

Cool to room temperature.

Measure out cup of the sauce and set aside.

Use the rest as a baste.

Preheat the broiler.

In a small bowl , combine chili powder , cumin and coriander.

Rub the chicken with the spice mixture.

Broil the chicken 6 inches from the heat for 3 minutes per side.

Brush with half of the basting mixture and broil for 5 minutes longer.

Turn the chicken over , brush with the remaining baste , and broil for 7 minutes longer or until cooked through.

Serve with the reserved sauce.
