Margarita Marinade:
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small fresh jalapeno pepper, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a nonreactive
dish. Mix the
marinade ingredients together, and pour the mixture
over the chicken.
Cover the chicken, and refrigerate it 8 hours or
overnight. Turn it
at least once.
Fire up enough charcoal to form a single layer
of coals beneath the
breasts, and heat the coals until they are covered
with gray ash.
Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade in a
small saucepan. Cook
the chicken, uncovered, over medium-hot coals until
it is cooked
through, basting it with some of the marinade.
Let the chicken sit
for 5 to 10 minutes after it cooks. Meanwhile,
bring the reserved
marinade to a boil, and boil it for at least 4
minutes, reducing the
liquid slightly. Taste it, and adjust the seasoning.
Cut each chicken
breast into thin slices, arrange them on a platter
or individual
plates, and top them with the sauce made from the
marinade. Serve the
breasts hot.
