Grilled chicken breasts marinated in tequila and lime topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 3 whole (6 halves) boneless chicken breasts with skin
- 1/2 cup "golden" tequila
- 1 cup lime juice (5-6 limes)
- 1/2 cup orange juice (2 oranges)
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp crushed jalapeño pepper (1 seeded pepper)
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, combine tequila with lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeño pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper. Immerse the chicken breasts in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the grill over coals and brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent the chicken from burning. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken breasts, skin-side down, for about 5 minutes, until well-browned.
- Turn the chicken over and cook for another 10 minutes, until no longer raw inside. Transfer from the grill to a serving platter. Cover tightly and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
This dish is paired with a dark, bottom-fermented beer called Bock.
