Tequila And Orange Liquor Chicken Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place orange slice between forefinger and thumb of left hand. Lick the skin just below thumb of left hand and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. Place shot of tequila in right hand. Lick cinnamon, drink shot, and bite orange slice.

Steps:

• To make the marinade: combine all the marinade ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth.
• Rinse the chicken breast under cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
• Place chicken in a large heavy-duty plastic zip-lock bag; pour in the marinade.
• Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
• Turn the bag to distribute the marinade; place in a bowl, and refrigerate 2-4 hours, turning every now and then.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and reserve the marinade.
• Pour the marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat; boil for 1 minute.
• Grill the chicken breasts, skin side down, over Direct Medium heat, for 8-12 minutes or until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, turning and basting with the marinade once halfway through grilling time; serve warm.
