Terlingua Chicken - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 canned jalapeno peppers (whole)
1/4 cup jalapeno juice (from canned jalapeno peppers)
2 cups white corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Preparation
-
Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove jalapenos with a slotted spoon. Refrigerate the jalapenos. Let syrup mixture cool and place in the refrigerator.
When the syrup mixture is totally cooled, pout 1 1/2 cups of the syrup over the chicken breasts. Marinate the chicken for 1 hour. The remaining syrup will be used for basting. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the liquid. Grill the chicken 3-5 minutes on each side, basting with reserved syrup mixture during cooking. Transfer to the serving platter and garnish with the candied jalapenos.
