Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup silver tequila
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 6 to 8 limes)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 1/2 pounds chicken drumsticks (about 20)
  • 3 tablespoons safflower oil
  • Clementine or orange wedges, for serving (optional)

Directions

Combine tequila, lime juice, honey, salt, pepper, chicken, and oil in a large resealable bag. Place in a baking dish and let stand at room temperature, turning bag occasionally, 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip back into bag; pat dry. Reserve marinade. Place chicken on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, transfer marinade to a saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and immediately brush with glaze. Serve warm or room temperature, with clementine wedges.

                As mentioned above this is way to salty! I ruined 4-1/2 pounds of chicken, does anyone proof these recipes before they post them?

                This recipe is way too salty. I sensed this and tried to compensate by adding only a third of the amount, and it was still way too salty in the final glaze. Also, the lackluster flavor of the marinade and glaze is not compelling enough to make this recipe again. Very disappointing in a highlighted event menu.

                Making it right now for the Grammy's!   I must have had the burner up too high when reducing the marinade because it burst into flames.  I am a firefighter so I wasn't too alarmed......note to self....."medium high" for marinade.  It smells fantastic.
