GRILLED TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN



Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken image

Also known as "margarita chicken," this tequila lime chicken is loaded with bright Southwestern flavor.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon lime zest, from about 2 limes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1¼ teaspoons ground ancho chili pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons honey
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or about 2 pounds), pounded to an even ½-inch thickness
1 lime, sliced into wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken breasts in a 1-gallon freezer bag. Close the bag and squish the marinade around to mix. Add the chicken breasts and massage the marinade into the meat until evenly coated. Seal the bag and place it in a bowl in the refrigerator (the bowl protects against leakage); marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Clean the grill and preheat to high. Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. (Alternatively, you can spray the grates with a non-flammable cooking spray.) Place the chicken breasts on the grill and spoon any remaining marinade from the bag over top. Grill, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side (turning only once). Serve immediately with lime wedges.

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.

  • Add chicken breasts to a gallon size zip top bag. In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients with a whisk. Pour into the bag with the chicken and seal, removing as much air from the bag as possible. Gently massage the chicken with your hands and flip bag back and forth to fully coat the chicken. Place the bag inside a bowl; refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Every so often, flip the bag over a few times to keep the chicken coated and moist, while marinating.
  • Slice onions and place them in the center of large sheet heavy-duty foil. Add butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and then fold to make a packet.
  • Place chicken on the counter to come to room temp while the grill is heating. Heat grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove meat from marinade and place the chicken on the grill; discard the leftover marinade. Cook the chicken 8 to 10 minutes on the first side. Turn and cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Turn chicken, as needed to keep from burning, until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
