Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except cilantro and meat in medium sauce pan.
• Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes or until onions are soft but not clear.
• Cool completely. (Instead of adding water above, I add ice cubes at this stage.).
• Place chicken in a baking pan and pour mixture over the chickent.
• Marinade at least 1 hour, preferably over night. If the sauce doesn't completely cover the meat, turn it over half way through.
• If baking, pour out half the liquid and cover with finely chopped cilantro.
• Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until meat is cooked through (depending on type of meat and size of pieces).
• If grilling, then grill and add the cilantro after cooking.

TEQUILA LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate overnight.
• Heat a grill with coals and brush the rack with oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, and grill them skin-side down for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes, until just cooked through. Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
