Tequila Chicken

What do you do with all kinds of alcohol you have when you (sort of) don't drink anymore? I use them of cooking. Chocolate liqeur for cupcakes, beer in chocolate cake, red wine with chicken and this time it's tequila's turn. I got an idea from this recipe from Epicurious.com but it's too complicated for me. Instead of making a glaze - I'll just marinate the chicken in the sauce and cook it.



Ingredients
  • About 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thigh

  • 3 jalapeno peppers - seeded and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds

  • lime juice from 1 lime

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 cup tequila

Directions
  1. Mix all the ingredients except chicken together. Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes.

  2. In the broiler, broil chicken for about 10 minutes on each side.

  3. Move the chicken to a baking pan - pour leftover marinate over the chicken and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 more minutes.


The chicken came out pretty good although I should have used one more pepper with seeds for a little more heat....
