Serves 10

20 fresh chicken wings, wing tips removed
1 12oz can peach nectar
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 16oz peach preserves

Place wings in a large resealable plastic bag. Add nectar, lemon peel, juice and preserves. Seal and shake to coat. chill 4-6 hours. Remove wings; discard marinade.

Grill wings over medium heat 5 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear. Grill over indirect heat 8-10 minutes, brushing evenly with preserves, or until tender and no longer pink.
