Marinated Chicken
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 clove garlic
- 1 Tbsp. chopped oregano
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 3 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Tequila Mustard
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup malt vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 Tbsp. dry mustard
- 1 Tbsp. ground coriander
- 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp. chile powder
- 1 tsp. finely grated lime zest
- salt
Directions
- Step 1In a large bowl, combine the tequila, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt. Add the chicken, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Step 2In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, water, malt vinegar, honey, tequila, lime juice, dry mustard, coriander, cumin, and chile powder. Cook over low heat, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes; do not boil. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Stir in the lime zest and season with salt. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
- Step 3Soak 24 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Light a grill. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mustard to a small bowl. Thread the chicken onto the top third of the skewers; grill over moderate heat, turning, until browned and almost cooked, 8 minutes. Brush the chicken with the reserved 1/2 cup of mustard and grill until glazed and cooked through. Serve the skewers with the remaining mustard.
