Recipe #286132 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: NetDiva Amy

This is a quick marinade that's best on chicken but delicious on fish too. You can bake, BBQ or grill.

Posted on: Feb 12, 2008

Ingredients

  • cup tequila
  • 6 lime
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • tablespoons chili powder
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • lbs chicken breast or chicken thighs or fish fillet
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Mix all ingredients, except cilantro and meat in medium sauce pan.
    2. 2
      Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes or until onions are soft but not clear.
    3. 3
      Cool completely. (Instead of adding water above, I add ice cubes at this stage.).
    4. 4
      Place chicken in a baking pan and pour mixture over the chickent.
    5. 5
      Marinade at least 1 hour, preferably over night. If the sauce doesn't completely cover the meat, turn it over half way through.
    6. 6
      If baking, pour out half the liquid and cover with finely chopped cilantro.
    7. 7
      Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until meat is cooked through (depending on type of meat and size of pieces).
    8. 8
      If grilling, then grill and add the cilantro after cooking.
