Cooking outdoors is a great way to make dinner when time is tight. While the grill is heating up, you can quickly simmer the sauce. To prevent the sauce from burning while grilling, only brush it on during the last few minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it. I'll try again and cook it for less time.
