This marinade has a little kick to it. It's best if used to marinate overnight. I slow cook chicken in a crock pot in marinate for 8 hours and then add to red chili. I won a chili cook off using this recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 cup tequila |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 lime, zest of |
1 fresh ripe jalapeno chile, minced (the red one) |
2 stalks green onions, minced |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup corn oil |
Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Let the mixture sit, preferably overnight, but at least for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Shake the mixture well, then reserve 1/2 cup to use as a baste.
4. Marinate white meats such as chicken or pork for up to 2 hours. Fish and shellfish should marinate for 45 minutes. Shake the food often while it marinates.
5. When grilling marinated food, use reserved marinade as a baste during the second half of cooking.
6. Discard used marinade when you start cooking.
