A flavorful and juicy grilled chicken recipe infused with zesty lime and a hint of tequila.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, minced garlic, tequila, salt, and pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor penetration into the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to oil the grill grates safely.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Avoid pressing down on the chicken while grilling to retain its juices.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
