Orange & Tequila Chicken, Grilled

Tequila may put us to sleep, but it wakes up this chicken recipe. The bite of tequila is delicious with the sweetness of orange.

  • 4 chicken breasts, skinless, boneless
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (use rubber gloves)

 

  

METHOD

Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chopped onions over chicken. Mix together orange juice, tequila, lemon juice, orange rind and jalapeno. Pour mixture over chicken, cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours, turning two or three times during the day.

Remove chicken from marinade, let stand at room temperature for 1/2 hour, then grill over hot coals approximately 20 minutes, basting with marinade, until the chicken is done.

Discard any remaining marinade and serve. Excellent with rice.

Serves: 4
