Barefoot Contessa recipe
Ingredients
1/2 cup tequila
1 cup fresh lime juice (5 to 6 limes)
1/2 cup freshly orange juice (2 oranges) with pulp is best
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole (6 split) boneless chicken breasts skin on*
Directions
In a large glass bowl combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
Heat the grill pan. Remove the chicken 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 let sit for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Notes
Recipe: Kosher, poultry
* I have used boneless skinless chicken thighs.
