Margarita Chicken

So our new apartment has a grill that actually works. So amazing. This is the first of many grilling recipes to come. The chicken is marinated in Bud Light Lime-A-Rita because I could not find tequila at two stores, so I gave up and gave this a try. It actually turned out really good as the drink is a beer, margarita blend so the chicken ends up super moist and flavorful. Marinate this chicken for at least 24 hours in jalapeno, lime and garlic and Lime-A-Rita for a intensely flavorful chicken.

Marinate the chicken for at least 24 to 48 hours.

Prep the chicken on a baking sheet with spices and cilantro.
