Recipe from Weber's Real Grilling. Super easy, fabulous taste. It doesn't taste very sweet or sour, the chicken had a great balanced taste (I did add bit more hot chili sauce to kick it up a bit). The recipe includes using the marinade to make "wilted baby spinach," which I will post below, I didn't have any spinach on hand so I don't know how that part of the recipe tastes like but the chicken was outstanding.
