This is a quick marinade that's best on chicken but delicious on fish too. You can bake, BBQ or grill.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup tequila
6 limes
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 lbs chicken thighs or 2 lbs fish fillets

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients, except cilantro and meat in medium sauce pan.
  • Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes or until onions are soft but not clear.
  • Cool completely. (Instead of adding water above, I add ice cubes at this stage.).
  • Place chicken in a baking pan and pour mixture over the chickent.
  • Marinade at least 1 hour, preferably over night. If the sauce doesn't completely cover the meat, turn it over half way through.
  • If baking, pour out half the liquid and cover with finely chopped cilantro.
  • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until meat is cooked through (depending on type of meat and size of pieces).
  • If grilling, then grill and add the cilantro after cooking.
