Grilled Chicken with Lime and Tequila topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 0.5 cups of gold tequila
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5-6 limes)
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh chili pepper (1 pod without seeds)
- 1 tbsp. minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 whole chicken breasts (6 pieces) boneless, skin on
Preparation:
- Marinade with tequila and lime.
In a large bowl, combine tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, hot pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat a charcoal grill and brush the grates with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, season generously with salt and pepper, and grill skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
