Tequila Lime Grilled Chicken
4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
zest of one lime
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter
In a mixing bowl combine the tequila, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cumin, and salt. Mix well. Reserve 1/4 cup of this marinade and place in the refrigerator.
Place the chicken breasts into a large storage bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
In a small sauce pan melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the 1/4 cup of reserved marinade to the saucepan once the butter has melted. Mix until heated through and set aside.
Set up your gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for approximately 5-6 minutes per side flipping once half way through. Baste with the marinade/butter mixture throughout grilling.
When I need to baste something on the grill, I use this basting set. I comes in so handy; I use it all of the time.
Serves: 4
