MARGARITA CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place the chicken wings in a resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime zest and juice, orange zest and juice, agave, crushed peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour over the wings and seal the bag. Toss the wings in the marinade to coat. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the wings out on the tray so they do not touch each other. Bake, flipping the wings halfway through, until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile place the marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the wings, turning often and brushing occasionally with the reduced liquid to coat, until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes.

MARGARITA FAJITAS CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine liquid ingredients.
• Add chicken strips and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• (Overnight works best, if possible) Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet (it works best for blackening the chicken).
• When thoroughly heated, add the chicken and cook until just starting to turn golden.
• Add the pepper and onion rings and cook until chicken starts to blacken and onions start to caramelize.
• Heat the tortillas in a tortilla warmer.
• If you don't have a tortilla warmer, I've found that putting the tortillas in a glass pie dish with a damp cloth covering them in a microwave for+/- 2 minutes works for me.
• Place 1 or 2 strips of chicken with some of the grilled onions and peppers in a tortilla.
• Top as desired with remaining ingredients.
• It's kinda fun to let people create their own.
