Time 12h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup gold tequila
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5 to 6 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts, skin-on

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.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of tequila, but this recipe changed my mind. The tequila flavor is subtle and it really complements the lime and chicken. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is also great for grilled or baked chicken.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
