Reverse Marinated? What is it? And why didn’t I think of it first? Tequila lime marinated chicken in reverse! Have you heard of reverse marinating? I tried it a few years back and thought it worked great! Basically, and it’s so simple, you will spoon on the marinade over your freshly cooked or grilled meats or vegetables.

What is reverse marinating? It’s so simple! Instead of marinating your meat for hours or overnight only to be disappointed when you cook it. In my experience I found that my traditional marinated chicken lacked flavor.



Reverse Marinated Tequila Lime Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 TBS cilantro minced
- 2 TBS onion minced
- 1 large serrano pepper minced
- 2 large cloves of garlic minced
- 1 tsp Mexican oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Juice of 2 limes
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 TBS red wine vinegar
- 2 TBS tequila blanco silver tequila
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- To prepare the marinade, whisk all the ingredients in a bowl. Taste for salt, cover and set aside.
- To pound out the chicken tender, simply place one chicken tender in between a heavy plastic storage bag. Then gently pound with a meat mallet until extended slightly and thinner.
- Season the flattened chicken lightly with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
- Preheat an indoor grill pan or cast iron skillet to medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- When hot, drizzle in some grapeseed oil to the pan. Sear the chicken for 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and sear for 2 more minutes or until chicken is cooked all the way through. Transfer to a pan or pot with a lid to keep warm.
- When you are done cooking all of the chicken, immediately transfer chicken to a serving platter. Spoon on some of the reserved marinade over chicken. Cover with foil paper loosely and let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with rice, salad or your favorite vegetables.
