  • 1/2 c. tequila
  • 1 sm white onion roughly minced

Directions

  1. 1.Use a large knife to split each chicken down the middle into two halves. Rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chickens in a large bowl or possibly two large plastic resealable food bags.
  2. 2.Puree the orange juice, tequila, onion, garlic, herbs and spices in a food processor or possibly blender. Pour over the chickens and rub to coat them thoroughly. Cover tightly and chill at least 4 hrs (or possibly, preferably, overnight), turning the chickens several times.
  3. 3.Remove the chickens from the marinade. Lightly spray the chickens with oil and place them on the cooking grate, skin-side up. Cover and grill for 45 min or possibly till the chicken breast registers 165 degrees and the thigh juices run clear when pieced with a knife.
  4. 4.Remove the chickens from the grill and let rest 10 min. Cut each in half and serve garnished with grilled green onions, if you wish.
  5. Serves 6 to 8.
