Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Tequila
  • 1 cup Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1 pepper Jalapeño seeded, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3 large Chicken Breast boneless, skin on

Instructions
 

  • Combine tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss in the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Take out the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for approximately five 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 sit for five minutes.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.
