TEQUILA LIME MARINADE



Tequila Lime Marinade image

This marinade has a little kick to it. It's best if used to marinate overnight. I slow cook chicken in a crock pot in marinate for 8 hours and then add to red chili. I won a chili cook off using this recipe.

This came from Bon Appetit and is just superb!!! I can't stress how wonderful this marinade is!!! It originally calls to be a beef marinade, but I think would be good with pork or chicken, too.

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

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.

Loved the flavor in this sauce! In the Test Kitchen we enjoyed it on wings (and they were gone in minutes!). I can't wait to use it on other meats though. I used apple juice and tequila in this recipe.
