Heat oven to 375ºF. Spray rack in shallow roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water; drain.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle chicken with garlic pepper blend; place chicken breast side up on sprayed rack in pan.
Bake at 375ºF for 1 hour. Brush chicken with preserves (I warmed my preserves up a little to make it easier to brush it on the chicken); bake an additional 35 to 45 minutes or until fork-tender and juices run clear.
