lime juice (plus zest)

garlic (minced)

cumin

smoked paprika

salt

chili powder

black pepper

olive oil

chicken breasts

honey

lime juice

mango (cubed)

tomatoes (diced)

Whisk all marinade ingredients together; tequila, 2 tablespoons lime juice, zest, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, chili powder, black pepper, and olive oil.

Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag just large enough to fit.

Pour marinade over the chicken, turning to coat. Remove any air from the bag and seal.

Allow chicken to marinate for 20 to 30 mins at room temperature or 1 hour refrigerated.

Marinade

Combine in a small bowl, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon lime juice, set aside.

Glaze

In a medium-sized bowl combine mango, tomato, avocado, red onion, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno, and cilantro.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Mango Salsa

Heat grill to medium-high. Add a small amount of vegetable oil on a folded piece of paper towel, and then carefully grease the grill grates with the oil.

Once the grill is nice and hot, add the chicken breasts and discard the marinade.

Cook until no longer pink (160-165°F), about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness.

After flipping the first side, brush the glaze onto the chicken.

Remove the chicken from the grill and transfer to a clean plate, cover to keep warm.

Brush more glaze on the chicken before serving and top with mango salsa.

Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C). Rub the garlic onto the chicken meat. Give it a good rub all over the meat and the skin.

Whisk all the Marinade ingredients together in a big bowl, mix well. Add the chicken into the Marinade, stir to coat well. Marinate for 15 minutes, but best for 2 hours.

Heat up a skillet and pan-fry the chicken with the skin-side down until slightly browned. Turn over and pan-fry the other side of the chicken until slightly browned.

Transfer the skillet into oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the skin nicely browned. Broil the chicken for 1 minute, or until the skin is nicely charred (as pictured). Transfer the chicken and the juice that seeps out after baking to a serving platter, squirt some fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro, serve immediately.
