Ingredients
1 1⁄2 pound Chicken Thighs (deboned, skin-on)3 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1⁄4 cup Tequila
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
3 dashes Cayenne Pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
1⁄4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
1 whole Lime (cut into wedges)
Directions
- Poke the chicken with a fork all over. Rub the garlic onto the chicken meat. Give it a good rub all over the meat and the skin.
- Whisk olive oil, tequila, lime juice, cayenne and salt in a big bowl, mix well. Add the chicken into the marinade, stir to coat well. Marinate for 15 minutes, but best for 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat up a skillet and pan-fry the chicken with the skin-side down until slightly browned. Turn over and pan-fry the other side of the chicken until slightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet into oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the skin nicely browned. Broil the chicken for 1 minute, or until the skin is nicely charred. Transfer the chicken and the juice that seeps out after baking to a serving platter, squirt some fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro, serve immediately.
