Chicken Tequila Sunrise image

Not your 'typical' tequila-chicken recipe. This recipe uses bone-in chicken pieces and is baked in the oven - no marinating! You will love the succulent, juicy taste of this chicken - and the ease of preparation. NOTE: Please use bone-in chicken pieces as you won't have the same delicious results with boneless, skinless chicken.

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs frying chicken, cut up (or your own favorite bone-in chicken pieces)
2 onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon course ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Spray a shallow baking pan (with sides) large enough to accommodate the chicken in a single layer with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Place unseasoned chicken pieces, skin-side up, in baking pan; place pan in preheated oven for 25 minutes to crisp skin and melt fat.
  • Remove from oven and pour off fat.
  • Place onion slices under chicken pieces.
  • Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
  • Return to oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and crisp, and liquid thickens.
