Margarita Chicken


Posted the21/07/2009 By Live.Love.Eat (Visit website)



Don't let the bad photos fool you, this chicken was great!!!!! I had just cleaned out my grill earlier in the day so it was hotter than I expected & "seared" my chicken just a tad too much. But the flavors from the marinade really infused the chicken nicely. Bone-in chicken breasts aren't my favorite so I am really looking forward to trying this again with thighs, legs & even boneless chicken breasts.

Perfect for a summer eve's dinner, perhaps with a real margarita on the side!


4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1 10oz can frozen margarita mix, thawed
2/3 cup tequila
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tblspn chicken seasoning (McCormick Grill Mates)

Rinse chicken with water & pat dry. For marinade, combine margarita mix, tequila, cilantro & chicken seasoning. Pour over chicken in a zip-top bag. Squeeze air out of bag & seal. Gently massage bag to coat chicken. Marinate in fridge for 1-2 hours.

Remove chicken from fridge & let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes Heat grill to 350-400. Oil grate when ready to start cooking. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade. Grill chicken for about 18 minutes on each side.

I also wanted to share a photo of the pantry after we had the bifold door braced, making it open like a regular door, & shelves put up on the back of it for extra space. If you have a small pantry with bifold doors, contact your handyman, even if he's your hubs. This is easily done & totally makes life easier.
