Instructions
- Pull out and measure the ingredients.
Marinade
- To create the marinade, combine all marinade ingredients (except the chicken) in a blender or food processor.
- Add Margarita mix, olive oil and lime juice.
- Add garlic cloves.
- Add green onions.
- Whole or cut in half is fine.
- Add salt, peppercorns, sugar and red pepper flakes.
- Blend the marinade until all of the peppercorns and large ingredients have been blended.
- Place chicken in an airtight container or resealable bag, pour marinade over the top and mix until the chicken is coated.
- Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 12-24 hours.
- Take the chicken out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before grilling, so that it's room temperature.
Glaze
- Over medium-high heat, add Margarita mix and lime juice to a small saucepan.
- Add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add a mixture of blended cornstarch and water.
- Heat until it thickens. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside until needed.
- Oil grill grates and heat the grill on high. Once hot, carefully place the chicken on the grill, then turn all the burners down to medium heat.
- Cook the chicken for a few minutes then flip over. When you flip it over, brush chicken with glaze using a long basting brush.
- Continue this process of flipping and glazing until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy every bite!
