TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN
Steps:
- Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
- Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-made tequila glaze or marinade. You can also make your own glaze or marinade by combining tequila, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and honey.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
- For a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño pepper to the glaze or marinade.
- To make the chicken even more flavorful, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the glaze or marinade every few minutes while cooking.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken instead of grilling it.

Tequila glazed chicken with jalapeño is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tequila glaze gives the chicken a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, while the jalapeño pepper adds a bit of spice. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
