After a few trials, I saw this in the event log on my system:

tell application "Keychain Scripting"
	get every generickey of current keychain
		{generic key 1of keychain "login.keychain", generic key 2 of keychain
"login.keychain"}

Thus, this works, using the same structure and substituting my key's name for
your key's name:

property theKey : "myApp"

tell application "Keychain Scripting"
	set keyList to every generic key of current keychain
	repeat with x from 1 to (length of keyList)
		if the name ofitem x of keyList is theKey then
			delete generickey x of current keychain
			exit repeat
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
