Honey Tequila Lime Chicken - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup tequila
6 limes
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 2 lbs chicken thighs or 2 lbs fish fillets
Preparation
-
Mix all ingredients, except cilantro and meat in medium sauce pan.
Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes or until onions are soft but not clear.
Cool completely. (Instead of adding water above, I add ice cubes at this stage.).
Place chicken in a baking pan and pour mixture over the chickent.
Marinade at least 1 hour, preferably over night. If the sauce doesn't completely cover the meat, turn it over half way through.
If baking, pour out half the liquid and cover with finely chopped cilantro.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until meat is cooked through (depending on type of meat and size of pieces).
If grilling, then grill and add the cilantro after cooking.
