Instructions
Grilled Margarita Chicken Wings
Pat the wings dry and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss.
Season with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Toss, then add enough water to cover. Cover and set in the fridge at least 2 hours to brine.
Make your glaze by combining tequila, honey, and citrus juices in a small pot. Whisk together and bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat and cool.
Heat your grill to medium-high heat, but keep one side cooler.
Remove wings from brine and pat dry. Mop each with a bit of the margarita glaze and set them onto the lightly oiled grill racks.
Cook them 5 minutes per side, then transfer them over to the indirect heat. Mop with more glaze, then cover and grill until wings are cooked through, about another 10 minutes.
Remove, drizzle with extra glaze and serve with whatever glaze remains on the side.
Tequila Glazed Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers
Make your glaze by adding tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, sugar, chili powder and salt in a small pot. Whisk and bring to a quick boil.
Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes, until the glaze slightly thickens. Remove from heat and cool.
Prepare your kababs by skewering 3 shrimp and 2 chunks of pineapple per skewer. Season with salt and pepper then mop each with glaze.
Heat grill to medium heat and add skewers. Grill 2-3 minutes per side, adding a bit of glaze as you grill, until the shrimp is cooked through.
Drizzle with a bit more glaze and serve.
