Bears Tequila Lime Breasts
From grizzlybear 14 years agoIngredients
- • 3 large, bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves (about 3lbs. total), rinsed and patted dry shopping list
- • 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped shopping list
- • 3/4 cup tequila shopping list
- • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice shopping list
- • 2 tbsp. firmly packed light brown sugar shopping list
- • 1 fresh jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced shopping list
- • 1 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic shopping list
- • 1 tsp. kosher salt shopping list
- • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- • 3 tsp. grated lime zest shopping list
How to make it
- 1. With a sharp, heavy knife, cut each chicken breast in half crosswise for a total of 6 pieces. In a large glass or plastic bowl, combine cilantro, tequila, lime juice, brown sugar, chile, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and mix to coat with marinade. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not marinate longer, because the acid in the marinade will begin to “cook” the chicken.)
- 2. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct, medium-high heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above the cooking grate only 2 to 3 seconds.
- 3. While grill heats, remove chicken from marinade, transfer to a platter, and pour marinade into a small bowl. Push your fingers under skin of each piece of chicken and rub meat with 1/2 tsp. lime zest.
- 4. Place chicken skin side down on oiled cooking grate and brush with marinade; cover gas grill. Cook until skin is browned but not charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn chicken with a wide spatula, brush again with remaining marinade, and cook, turning as needed to prevent burning, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone (cut to test), about 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a clean platter.
