I kept calling this drunken chicken, but of course the alcohol burns off while cooking. Really good flavor to this recipe. The adaptations I used were I created my own "margarita mix" with limeade, lemon juice and triple sec and I used chicken pieces that already were in our freezer. Turned out well that way, too.Tequila Chicken
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. honey
3/4 cup margarita mix
1/4 cup tequila
1 Tbsp. dried basil
1 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. cumin
3-4 chicken breasts
1 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. water
4 lime wedges
In small bowl, combine oil, honey, margarita mix, tequila, basil, cayenne and cumin. Fork holes in the chicken, and put into a slow cooker. Top with the oil mixture. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours.
When chicken is cooked, remove chicken and put in oven to keep warm. Combine flour and water until well blended. Stir into the liquid in the slow cooker. Leave uncovered and turn to high. Cook 10 minutes to thicken.
Serve chicken with sauce and lime wedges. Serves 4.
