Tequila-Honey-Lime Marinated ChickenAdapted from Better Homes and Gardens, July 2009
The flavors in this weren't as strong as I was expecting, so don't be overwhelmed by the main trio. They actually create a fairly subtle flavored chicken. The honey makes an almost carmelized crust on the chicken when grilled. The original recipe calls for drumsticks, which, having had it with boneless, skinless breasts, I can understand why this marinade would be great for drumsticks.
Serves 3-4
1/4 c. white tequila
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. honey
2 limes, juiced
1/2 t. salt
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Whisk together tequila and oil, and then whisk in honey, lime juice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate marinade up to 2 days.
Place chicken in a self-sealing plastic bag in a shallow dish. Add marinade, seal, and refrigerate 4 to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
Drain, discard marinade. Grill over medium-low heat.
For a complete meal, serve with Chipotle Cilantro Rice and Grilled Corn on the Cob.
