Ingredients:
1/2 cup gold tequila1 c. freshly squeezed lime juice (5-6 limes) 1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges) 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon minced fresh jalopeno pepper 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin on ____________________________________________________
Directions:
Combine tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalpeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, refrigerate overnight.Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove chicken from marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, then grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. If you like cilantro, add 1 tablespoon to the marinade. There is no substitute for freshly squeezed lime juice. I use Cuervo Gold tequila. | |
