Time 8h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

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 fresh ground black pepper
6 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.
