Tequila-Honey-Lime Marinated Drumsticks
We have tried a few different tequilas and they all worked fine with this recipe. Don’t be afraid of the alcohol, because it cooks off. I personally remove the chicken skin, after it is grilled, to lower the fat content.
Makes: 6 servings
Prep: 15 minutes
Marinate: 4 hours
Grill: 50 minutes
ingredients
a.. 1/2 cup blue agave tequila (any tequila works)
b.. 1/2 cup untoasted walnut oil
c.. 1/2 cup honey
d.. 2 to 3 limes (1 tsp. finely shredded peel plus 1/4 cup juice)
e.. 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
f.. Optional add-ins: 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 tsp. ground cumin; 2 shallots, minced
g.. 12 chicken drumsticks
h.. Lime and/or orange slices
i.. Fresh cilantro
directions
1. For marinade, in bowl whisk together tequila and oil. Whisk in honey, lime juice, peel, salt, and desired add-ins. Cover and refrigerate marinade up to 2 days.
2. Place drumsticks in a self-sealing plastic bag set in shallow dish. Add marinade; seal. Refrigerate 4 to 8 hours, turning occasionally. Drain; discard marinade.
3. For charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around drip pan. Grill drumsticks 50 to 60 minutes over drip pan, covered, until chicken is no longer pink (180 degrees F), turning once halfway. (For gas, heat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.)
Makes 6 servings.
