List of Ingredients
1 whole chicken (4-5 lbs.)
large resealable plastic bag
6 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
6 tomatillos, cut in half
6 oz. tequila (optional)
6 oz. lime juice
6 oz. olive oil
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Recipe
Thoroughly clean and rinse chicken. Pat dry. To remove backbone of chicken, place chicken breast-side down on cutting board and cut along each side of the backbone; discard bone. Open chicken, pressing down on the breastbone to flatten. Place chicken in bag; set aside.
Mix remaining ingredients in blender; reserve 1 cup sauce. Pour remaining sauce over chicken and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Grill bone-side down for 15 minutes. Turn chicken and cook about 15 minutes more, or until juices run clear when pierced with fork. Serve with reserved sauce.
