Recipes Ingredients Meat & Poultry Chicken Tequila-Lime Chicken Drumsticks 3.3 (144) Close Credit: Nicole Franzen Prep Time: 35 mins Total Time: 1 hr 55 mins Yield: 20 Marinating the chicken in a seasoned tequila mixture isn't just for show: alcohol's ability to play well with both the fat (which in this case is the chicken drumsticks) and water molecules (punchy aromatics like lime juice and garlic), make it a great vehicle for infusing something with a lot of flavor. And while the ingredient list sure does evoke the flavor (and alcohol content) of a classic margarita, the alcohol gets cooked off as it bakes, making this recipe family-friendly! 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.
