1 whole chicken 1 tsp Garlic-pepper blend 1/2 cup peach or apricot preserves

1. Hear oven to 375. Spray rack in shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water-drain and pat dry with paper towels.

2. Sprinkle garlic-pepper blend over chicken: place breast side up on rack in pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and doesn't touch bone.

3. Bake uncovered 1 hour. Brush chicken with preserves. Bake 35-45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 180 and legs move easily when lifted or twisted. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
