Secure skin over cavities with small metal skewers; bend wings akimbo.
Barbecue chicken by indirect heat placing chicken, breast down, on grill directly above drip pan.
Cover barbecue and adjust dampers as necessary to maintain an even heat.
Cook for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a 3 to 4-quart pan, combine peaches, sugar, orange juice, orange peel, ginger, onion, wine, and curry powder.
Cook over medium-high heat until bubbly; then reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, until thickened (15 to 20 minutes).
Stir often to prevent sticking.
Turn chicken over and brush generously with peach mixture.
Continue to cook until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (not touching bone) registers 185°F or until meat near thighbone is no longer pink (cut to test) 30 to 45 more minutes.
