Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, chopped jalapeño, minced garlic, and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the grill or skillet to high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat dry, and cook skin-side down until golden brown, then flip the chicken and cook until done. Transfer to a platter and let rest for about 5 minutes.
