Here is how you make Tequila Lime Chicken:

Combine tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, refrigerate overnight.Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove chicken from marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, then grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.You can also use a Foreman Grill. Thats what I used the first time.If you like cilantro, add 1 tablespoon to the marinade. There is no substitute for freshly squeezed lime juice.Number of Servings: 3Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHADDYDADDY.
