Grilled Margarita Chicken with Marinade
 |
| Classic Frozen Margarita |
.
This chicken is unlike anything you have ever had before. It is plump and juicy. With the flavors of the margarita; tart lime, sweet orange and cuervo gold tequila, you know this is going to be good. But, adding garlic, jalapeno and spices to this marinade takes it to a whole different level. One that will make you stand up and shout out "This is ridiculously delicious". Well you might not get quite that excited, but that still makes me grin. Enjoy!TSRI TIP: For an extra special treat you can make a 2nd batch of the marinade. In a small saucepan over high heat bring the marinade to a boil. Stirring constantly boil for 2 minutes, reduce to simmer and cook until reduced by 1/3. Serve over top of chicken for an extra flavor treat!
