Categories     main-dish

Time 8h30m

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tequila for the glaze. A good reposado or añejo tequila will add a rich, flavorful taste to the dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can quickly become dry and tough, so cook them just until they are cooked through.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro or jalapeño slices before serving.

Conclusion:

This tequila-glazed chicken with jalapeño is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the glaze is flavorful and slightly spicy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that your guests will love.
