Margarita Chicken Skewers

Ingredients

• 24 bamboo skewers
• 1 Cup good-quality Tequila
• 1 Cup fresh limejuice
• 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 Teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless, half chicken breasts, each cut into 6 nuggets

Directions

• Soak bamboo skewers for 1 hour in water.
• Whisk together tequila, limejuice, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Thread 1 chicken nugget on to the tip of each bamboo skewer. Place skewers in a large baking pan. Pour tequila marinade over chicken on skewers. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. Note: marinating chicken in citrus for longer than 1 hour will cause chicken to break down and taste mealy.
• Prepare your barbeque according to manufacturer's instructions or heat a grill pan on your stove over medium-high. Grill skewers, until thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 24 skewers.
