This is The Best Chicken Marinade We Have Ever Tried!
If you like your chicken a little sweet, a little spicy and a little tangy all at the same time, then you are going to love this tequila citrus chicken recipe. Yes, you read that right- tequila! That secret ingredient right there is what brings this whole recipe together.
So what is in this magical marinade? Glad you asked! Fresh jalapeno gives the chicken a little bit of heat while orange juice and fresh lime juice add a nice tangy to the mix. Tequila (as I mentioned before) tops off the marinade with a nice zing and adds that bold, woody flavor that is so unique to the drink. All the ingredients are simply chopped and put together in a bowl- so easy that it will only take about 5 minute to prepare this sauce.
Like all good marinated chicken, the flavor of this marinade will work best if it is let absorb into the chicken overnight so try to plan ahead with this one! Once the chicken thighs are nicely soaks and ready to go, cook them on a grill or simply toss them in a skillet over medium heat. While the alcohol from the tequila may cook off, the amazing flavor is still going to be there! Pour yourself another glass to go along with the chicken!

Quick tip: Try baking the chicken thighs in the oven along with the marinade. Baste them occasionally so that you don’t lose any of that precious flavor!
